As an educator with more than fifteen years of University-level teaching experience, I am dedicated to the pursuit of academic excellence. I believe that mathematical rigor, a proper historical perspective, and specific knowledge of new technologies, are keys to a well-rounded scientific education. In my opinion, a modular and integrated approach to learning - which incorporates cross-disciplinary perspectives when appropriate - is likely the most effective way to achieve this end. In this regard, I am committed to moderate curriculum reform as it pertains to the inclusion and introduction of new concepts, techniques and technologies into a traditional, lecture-based, classroom setting.
I am currently not teaching any classes. See below for classes I have taught int he past.
My first formal teaching experiences began during the summer of 1991 when I helped teach a Modern Physics laboratory class designed for high school teachers. Since that time I have taught both undergraduate and graduate classes ranging from Physical Science to Computational Physics and Quantum Mechanics. In addition, I have taught classes in the broad area of cognitive neuroscience to undergraduate and graduate students in psychology and courses in MRI Physics to graduate students in physics.
I enjoy teaching very much at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Classes I have taught or contributed to include:
- Introductory Physics
- Introduction to Cardiovascular Engineering
- Classical Mechanics
- Computational Physics
- Electricity And Magnetism
- MRI Physics and Analysis
- Modern Cognition
- NeuroImaging of Cognition
- Quantum Mechanics
Regardless of the level and kind of class (or student for that matter!), I believe that being involved in research makes a big differnece in the quality of the learning experience.
