Research

   I believe that science is only approximation of the natural

world. Most theories in science have limitations. They are valid with certain conditions. There are still a lot of unknowns to humanity. Science is a collection and accumulation of human wisdom and hard work contributed by many people from all around the world. I appreciate the opportunities to participate this contribution to push the envelope of the limitations and search the answers of the unknowns.

   I think that engineering is the implementation of science with defined objects that benefit the humanity. 

     I am interested to develop new technologies that utilize our new findings in science research.

Teaching

I enjoy teaching and working with my students in classrooms and in laboratories. 

·      I encourage my students to follow their passion and develop their inquiring minds and critical thinking skills.

·      I am convinced that we should provide students opportunities to learn fundamentals in science and engineering as well as hands-on skills. 

·      I think the discipline, concentration, and study methods are very important.

·      I believe that any motivated learner with good disciplines and proper training can absorb and retain knowledge, utilize what they have for problem analysis and problem solving, and make contributions in their chosen fields.

·      I am happy to see that so many SCSU ECE graduates become productive citizens as engineers, scientists, teachers, industrial leaders, business owners, entrepreneur, etc.
