I adhere to the "educate, inspire, engage" philosophy in my approach to teaching and advising. My primary goal in these roles is to cultivate a positive learning environment that encourages students to acquire, test, and generate knowledge, equipping them with essential skills to emerge as distinguished individuals among the next generation of engineers. As a teacher and mentor, I envision my role as one that kindles students' enthusiasm, stimulates their interest, and ultimately empowers them to think creatively and independently.
Within the domain of Biomedical Engineering, I instruct the following courses under both our undergraduate and graduate programs:
- BMED 110 Introduction to Programming for Engineers
- BMED 310 Biomedical Signals and Systems
- BMED 451/551 Biomedical Microdevices I
- BMED 452/552 Biomedical Microdevices II
