Teaching

I teach courses in introductory electrical engineering, microwave engineering, and MEMS, with an emphasis on connecting fundamentals to design, simulation, and measurement. My teaching was recognized with the UT Austin Junior Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award in 2024.

Course Development

Microwave Engineering. I redesigned Microwave Engineering to better connect electromagnetic theory with practical RF measurement and design. In partnership with the Keysight education team, I developed six hands-on vector network analyzer labs and four ADS design projects. Students perform microwave calibration, measure and analyze S-parameters, and compare simulations with experiments to build intuition for transmission lines and distributed effects. Enrollment increased from 25 to 58 in the most recent offering.

MEMS. I restructured the MEMS course to provide a clearer path from motivation to implementation, moving through microfabrication, mechanics, device modeling, and simulation, and ending with project-based work tied to student interests. Following this redesign, enrollment increased from 8 to 25. A TA-led lab is also being developed to let students design masks and measure fabricated devices using new UT cleanroom capabilities.
