Our inherent curiosity has been instrumental in the progress of humanity; and I believe will continue to be our greatest asset in the pursuit of knowledge. It is the strength of this all-powerful tool – curiosity – that I would like to impart to the next generation of students and researchers. Teaching is a passion that motivates, strengthens and energizes me and bestows upon me a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that is second to none. My teaching philosophy is teaching by encouraging the students to ask questions and to play ball with their curiosity. My background in mechanical and biomedical engineering have imbibed within me a strong sense of logical and analytical thinking; and I use these attributes to approach teaching in a logical manner.
