Welcome to my teaching portal.

💡 Teaching Philosophy

My pedagogical approach is rooted in bridging the gap between abstract physics and real-world engineering. I believe that students learn best when they can see and manipulate the phenomena they study. Therefore, a cornerstone of all my classes is the integration of theoretical concepts with live physical experiments and interactive numerical simulations. By bringing phenomena like optical diffraction and photoemission into the classroom, I aim to transform passive learning into an active, experiential journey.

Below you will find a collection of courses I have taught and developed:
