BIOGRAPHY:
He is
a enthusiastic about both laboratory-oriented and theoretical courses. I taught
Microbiology and Immunology course at Case Western Reserve University to M.D. /
PhD students. I also worked as Adjunct Faculty at Cuyahoga Community College,
Cleveland, there I taught Microbiology course to undergraduates. I have trained
several undergraduate, postgraduate and post-doctoral fellows as assistant
professor at the George Washington University (GWU). That experience helped me
to realize my love for teaching. I also enjoy one-on-one teaching and advising.
My teaching interests are similarly broad. I would be interested in teaching
Biochemistry, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, immunology, cell biology and
also course regarding lab techniques. All of them I can teach comfortably at
both undergraduate and graduate levels.
