Research and Teaching:1. Research:The foremost objective of carrying out research is either to solve existing problems or to develop new scientific advancements that ensure the evolution of the society. Research creates much-needed connections between disciplines and integrates diverse academic points of view in a multi-disciplinary environment, and it enriches the educational experience for students.

Research:The foremost objective of carrying out research is either to solve existing problems or to develop new scientific advancements that ensure the evolution of the society. Research creates much-needed connections between disciplines and integrates diverse academic points of view in a multi-disciplinary environment, and it enriches the educational experience for students. Philosophically, my research goals center on the inclusion of peers, postdoctoral fellows, PhD candidates, technicians, engineers, undergraduate and graduate students in a multi-disciplinary research team to applying modern experimental techniques. One key issue is to struggle on implementing the research outcomes in cooperation with NGOs as well as the government and to develop policies. I implement the research outcomes to develop extension and outreach programs.2. Teaching:Besides the unidirectional teaching methods (e.g. lecture, demonstration), I implement interactional teaching techniques: brainstorming, workshop, role playing, storytelling, group discussion, case study, debate and simulation. I implement several teaching approaches: project-based pedagogy, educational module, group work and self-learning. I use several teaching methods outside the lecture hall: assignments, projects, term papers and field/technical visit trips. I have developed homework, web-based materials, problem solving methodologies and problem solving traits. I implement several teaching technologies: MOOC, Moodle and E-learning. I urge my students to contribute to the ongoing research projects to gain more scientific experience and have access to practical and experimental issues. I implement the results of the research projects in teaching my students and to develop training programs for the graduate engineers to keep them linked with their college, provide them with the state-of-the-art and the scientific frontiers, and allow experience exchange and technology transfer among them.
