Teaching Philosophy
I love teaching topics related to environmental engineering and water science. My teaching philosophy is to make students thoroughly understand complex concepts in the simplest possible way, by introducing them to the cutting-edge research early in their career, at undergraduate or graduate level. I encourage students to raise their standards of learning and make them discover their own potential. Students can attain their goals when given the right learning and environment, mentoring and feedback.
Courses taught
GEO 1013 The Third Planet (Summer 2022, University of Texas at San Antonio)
Evolution of ideas concerning the earth’s origin, structure, and age; social impact of recognizing the antiquity of the planet and humankind’s brief presence; examination of how the distribution of planetary resources influenced the rise and clash of civilizations. May not be applied to a major in geology. May apply toward the Core Curriculum requirement in Life and Physical Sciences.

CE 563 Environmental Engineering Fundamentals (Spring 2013 - Spring 2016, Kansas State University)
Introduction to fundamentals of environmental engineering to junior- and senior-level students. The class includes basic understanding of water quality, water and wastewater treatment processes and systems, air pollution and solid waste management. The lab section of this class provides students a hands-on experience on water and wastewater quality testing, coagulation dose determination through jar tests, field visits to municipal water, wastewater treatment facilities and a group project.
