Statement of Teaching

My motivation for teaching is multi-dimensional. First and foremost, I see it as an educational process not only for the students but for myself as well. It drives me towards a better understanding of the materials. Further, the value of teaching to students and society is unquestionable. I am grateful to many great teachers for igniting my scientific curiosity, helping me shape my thoughts, teaching me how to express my ideas clearly, encouraging me to be creative, challenging me with interesting assignments, and puzzling me with open research problems. I find that there are very few experiences that compare with the satisfaction of imparting knowledge to receptive students. My philosophy is that teaching has to be fun for both the teacher and the students. Otherwise, it quickly becomes a chore for everyone involved. To that end, I use a number of techniques to ensure that teaching remains fun both for me and my students. This includes incorporating a large amount of interaction and short fun puzzles into my teaching. These elements ensure that students are constantly involved in the class. I also ensure that all elements of the class (lectures, assignments, and projects) are challenging and meaningful by either using real-world examples to motivate concepts or by making the assignments and projects use real-world applications and scenarios. With the advent
