A student-centred approach
Teaching is inseperable from learning. Instead of focusing on ‘what I want to teach’, I pay more attention to ‘how students learn’, so I can tailor the course design to support active learning.
Constructivism and active learning are the core of my teaching philosophy. I see our students as talented and unique indivaduals. My teaching is not to turn them into ‘encyclopedia’, but rather, to accompany their acdemic growth towards innovation and confidence.
Courses I offer …
Manufacturing Processes and Systems
How to turn designs into products? Via project studies from industrial-level aircraft engines to microelectronic chips; from high-strength carbon-fibre bikes to ultra-soft articifial organs. You will appreciate the integrated nature of design, material, processing, and management in the manufacture of products.
Advanced Manufacturing for Bioelectronics
Bioelectronics bridge the domains of biology and machines, underpinning future healthcare and brain-machine interfaces. This course will cover trending manufacturing techniques, along with designs and applications of bioelectronics. Via case studies, you will appreciate the frontiers and challenges of this interdisciplinary field.
Mechanics of Machines
This course covers machine design principles, kinematics, and dynamics through practical mechanics problem-solving. You’ll analyse the design criteria and limits of mechanical components and learn how they integrate into efficient power transmission systems. Building on your physics knowledge, you’ll develop key engineering skills for designing and optimising mechanical systems.
My teaching accreditation
I hold an Associate Fellowship from Advance HE (formerly the Higher Education Academy).
From 2017-2023, I have accumulated over 200 teaching hours by contributing to the unique Undergraduate Supervision in Cambridge.
