PHYS Independent Research Project in Physics
MATH Applied Statistics with R
My primary teaching goal is to help students learn how to think like a physicist. You would never learn how to think without thinking. So, I believe the more students are engaged in classroom activities, the better they will learn. In my physics class, I hold hand-on activities, group discussions to solve problems, and share the current technology or science development which relate physics principles with real world applications.
In my physics classes, you will learn problem-solving skills, communication with accurate scientific language, quantitative skills, computational skills, laboratorial skills that can apply to their future career in physics as well as engineering or health science.
Electronic Projects
This project explores the intersection of electric digital technology, traditional crafts, and art design. In this project, the student design and build up interactive electronic technologies involving LED lights, conductive sticker, coding board, and programmable sensors. It opens the students’ mind about what they are able to create with circuits and to look at electronics beyond just tools but powerful ways to realize their imagination.
This project can stimulate student’s imagination and inspire their interest in technology and engineering. The electric knowledge involved in this project is fun and quick to learn. The coding board sensor involves basic programming techniques which also applicable to the widely used Arduino coding board.
Making an Acoustic Levitator
In General Physics lab, we created an acoustic levitator using arduino coding board and sound wave generators. Light objects are trapped at the nodes of the acoustic standing wave.
