TEACHING AND SUPERVISION
I have more than ten years of teaching experience. I taught all physics laboratories, general
physics (Phys 101), mechanics (Phys103), electricity and magnetism (Phys 104),
electrodynamics, laser physics and its applications, thermodynamics, atomic physics,
molecular physics, plasma physics, optics, and applied optics courses for undergrad
students in addition to four years of teaching assistant for all undergraduate physics courses
and laboratory. I taught gas discharge, plasma physics, advanced plasma physics, and
applications at the postgraduate level. I am willing to interested in offering offer other
physics courses for undergraduate and advanced laser physics and applications, bioelectric,
atomic and molecular spectroscopy, fluid mechanics for postgraduate, and atomic physics
in hot plasma for postgraduate level.
