Teaching
My overarching goal in teaching and mentoring is to help students become critical thinkers with a strong foundation in knowledge and an understanding of how their discipline impacts society. I aim to build an inspiring, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where students feel confident exploring new ideas.
Over the years, I have shaped my teaching and mentoring approach through experiences guiding students on their thesis projects, assisting in undergraduate and graduate core courses, and participating in training focused on STEM education and outreach.
Influenced by outstanding mentors and continuous reflection, my teaching philosophy is built on three pillars:
- encouraging curiosity-driven learning
- strengthening conceptual understanding through active learning
- empowering students to apply engineering knowledge to real-world challenges
