Teaching & student supervision

Teaching strengths

Project-Based Learning
Assessment for learning
Student feedback
Connected curriculum

Highlights

Taught various courses on Electrical/Electronic Circuits, Integrated Circuit design, Digital Logic Design, Microcontroller Programming and Interfacing, Embedded Systems, Computer Organisation and Design, and Computer Communication and Networks.

Teaching focuses on the development of independent learning, problem solving and critical thinking abilities through project-based approaches. Address students' academic and cultural diversity through intra- and inter-project scaffolding of progressively complex tasks. Ways to engage students in lectures, tutorials and assessments are of particular interest.
