Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy centers around hands on and contextual application of fundamental environmental engineering principles so students develop innovative problem-solving skills that may be utilized in a wide range of applications. I feel very passionate about investing in the next generation of engineers and scientists, just as my professors, mentors, and colleagues invested in my future as an environmental engineer. And just as I found my purpose and passions in this field, I hope to leave a positive impact on students who are on the way to finding theirs.
Classes
Applied Data Science for Wastewater Epidemiology
BINF 8165
Spring Semesters
Focusing on topics such as water safety and quality, wastewater management, and disease transmission, the course offers a comprehensive exploration of the importance of advanced data science in shaping public health strategies. Through hands-on experiences with microbiological and -Omics data, students will develop skills to interpret complex data sets effectively.
Mass Fate and Transport
BCHE 3520
Fall Semesters
Mass transport and rate phenomena in the analysis of engineering problems in biological systems.
Bioengineering Fundamentals
BCHE 6010
Spring and Fall Semesters
The course introduces graduate students who do not have an undergraduate degree in an engineering discipline to the fundamental aspects of bioengineering. Course covers dimensional analysis, mass and energy balances, basics of fluid flow, fundamentals of mass transfer and heat transfer, and basics of reaction kinetics. The course plan maintains a level of flexibility in order to cater to the backgrounds and needs of the enrolled students.
