Your philosophy of teaching:

As a teacher, my goal is to help students develop a fundamental approach to solve problems that are encountered in the physical world. Instead of focusing on the solution to a particular problem I encourage them to focus on the problem-solving methodology. This approach makes them think independently. I always try to ensure that my guidance encourages my students towards self-direction, self-monitoring, and self-generation of ideas.

Why did you decide to teach?

When I was a student, practical applications of theorems/equations had always fascinated me. It peaked my interest more when I found topics that were closely related to the real world. I have received similar feedback from the students while teaching a course.
