About Me

I have a PhD. degree in organic chemistry and seven years of teaching experience at a prestigious university. My classes have averaged one-hundred undergraduate and graduate students each semester and I have received outstanding student evaluations. Over the years, I have dedicated my time to research, teaching, developing courses and educational materials at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. My teaching specialization centers on organic chemistry, spectroscopy and medicinal chemistry in drug design. I also established an independent research group in drug discovery. In addition, I have guided students and published research papers with them. As a professor in organic chemistry, I am familiar with the difficulties students have with this subject and endeavor to help them feel comfortable and confident so that they successfully achieve their goals.

Q&A with Chih-Hung

Teaching and research are closely related. Research brings new knowledge that contributes to course content. Teaching students at all levels raises questions that challenge existing approaches and understanding. These questions, in turn, can bring new insights that drive research. I believe a good instructor should always look for ways to improve their teaching skills and set goals that are both challenging and achievable to the students. As a teacher, it is important for me to make each student realize his/her true potential, and attain the highest goal possible by setting the highest standards for himself/herself. In addition, it is also important to encourage students to learn from their mistakes. Learning what doesn't work is just as important as learning what does. Students learn more from understanding why an incorrect answer is wrong than from simply memorizing the correct answer.
