    MY PEDAGOGY

“The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of the young mind
for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards,” – Anatole France

“The important thing is not to stop questioning... Never lose a holy curiosity,” – Albert Einstein

Academic Philosophy

“Three passions guide my life: the ecstasy of discovery, the search for knowledge, and the sharing of it with my students and global community. The search for knowledge helps me stay at the cutting edge of science and technology. Both discovery and knowledge lead me to my teaching mission of sharing knowledge and expertise, which is reflected in the endeavors of my students and everyone who accepts the challenges of these passions.”
