- Teaching interests

I believe higher education is not simply to equip students with specific knowledge, more importantly it should prepare students with the capability of thinking independently, critically and to appreciate the complexity of the reality.
My aim is to create a comfortable environment of learning, in which students will feel confident in expressing their ideas and making mistakes.
