About Me

At Widener, I have taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate lecture and laboratory courses in both on-campus and online formats. I enjoy interacting with students inside and outside of the classroom, promoting inquiry, facilitating collaborative discussions, and supporting creative problem-solving.

I have been advising undergraduate and graduate students in different research projects, and directing the Undergraduate Student Research Program at the School of Engineering. By conducting research with faculty advisors, students are able to apply theoretical knowledge to practical applications, and gain valuable experiences and skills that that extend beyond the curriculum.
