Personal Statement
Personal Statement
Physics in the foundation of our understanding describing how things work from the small entities in the sub nuclear, nuclear, and atomic scale to the largest systems including the entire universe. My teaching philosophy is based on imparting to students sufficient skills to appreciate and apply physics to a variety of natural and technological systems. My research philosophy is to apply phenomenological considerations to obtain a deeper understanding of natural phenomena and innovative solutions to practical problems such as energy utilization
