My Teaching Philosophy

“I am passionate about teaching. In my opinion, both undergraduate and graduate education are very important stages for students to develop their professional skills. I want to nurture talents to solve the emerging challenges in science and technology. At the same time, I want to foster students’ desire and excitement towards learning, as this is important for facing and solving different problems in life.”
