Teaching & Mentoring

I view teaching and mentoring as integral parts of scientific life. My approach emphasizes clarity, active participation, and helping students develop the confidence to ask precise questions and think independently. I have taught across undergraduate and graduate physics, from mathematical methods and classical mechanics to quantum field theory and physics beyond the Standard Model.

Mentoring is an integral part of my approach to teaching. I aim to help students develop independence, confidence, and intellectual ownership of their work, while adapting my supervision to their individual goals and stage of training.
