My Teaching Philosophy

Theoretical physics is a difficult subject, and yet, the most interesting field of study one could possibly imagine. I attempt to share the fascination by exposing students to the intricacies of the field, while stressing the importance of the mathematical foundations. A course on “Mathematical Physics” (Physics 6403) tries to establish a link between the undergraduate education in mathematics and the enhanced knowledge of mathematics required for graduate studies in both experimental and theoretical physics.
