Teaching Innovations

I love to experiment with evidence-based methods to engage students in learning. I am particularly interested in supporting students’ development of essential skills to thrive in their future careers, which include, but are not limited to, problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, collaboration, and communication.

As an instructor and data scientist who has training in interdisciplinary educational research, I often use the course that I teach as a lab for teaching and research innovations. I  love to collect data from my students and my teachings as formative feedback. Meanwhile, those data may help me to answer interesting research questions on how people learn.
