As an undergraduate, I focused on building a strong foundation in core courses and experimental techniques to prepare for advanced studies. This approach paid off during my graduation project on transport phenomena in multiphase systems, which resulted in a published paper in Chemical Engineering and Processing Journal. My master's research further deepened my understanding of chemical engineering, especially in heat and mass transfer in solar-powered distillers, leading to two well-cited publications. During my PhD, I developed a novel method for fabricating model inorganic membranes using anodic oxidation of aluminum, which solved challenges in transport phenomena studies and led to publications in Journal of Membrane Science and Journal of Electrochemical Society. As a faculty member, I formulated a research philosophy focused on addressing key challenges in chemical engineering, particularly in energy, environment, and technology.
My passion for teaching developed through helping classmates during my undergraduate studies and grew further while teaching process dynamics and control as a graduate student. I believe teaching is a continuous learning process, shaped by feedback from students, professors, and peers. In chemical engineering, I focus on fostering independent thinking and problem solving rather than memorization. I encourage teamwork through group design projects to enhance communication and collaboration. I emphasize the importance of strong fundamentals and interdisciplinary knowledge to make learning engaging. A good teacher must be dedicated, enthusiastic, and adaptable, creating a comfortable environment where students feel supported. I also use technology, such as visual aids and industry software, to enhance learning and provide real-world connections. Ultimately, I see teaching as a leadership role, guiding students with inspiration and hard work, and finding fulfillment in their success in industry or graduate school.
