About Me

As an educator with a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering and Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Chemical Engineering, I bring more than 14 years of academic, research, and industrial experience to my teaching. I have taught and mentored students at the University of Alberta, Fudan University, and UET, and I also have significant industry experience in process engineering, wastewater treatment, remediation projects, and safety training. This combination allows me to connect classroom concepts with real-world practice, helping students see not only "how" but also "why" science and engineering matter. I tutor a wide range of subjects including AP Chemistry, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Environmental Science, Biology, Physics, Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Process Control, and Engineering Design. Drawing on my research in biochar, hydrothermal processing, wastewater treatment, PFAS remediation, and oil sands reclamation, I enrich lessons with real examples from cutting-edge projects. My industrial background includes training more than 100 workers in health, safety, and operations, supported by certifications such as NEBOSH International General Certificate, Six Sigma Green Belt, and my designation as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng., APEGA). My teaching philosophy is grounded in student-centered learningI tailor explanations to different learning styles, encourage questions, and use step-by-step strategies to build confidence. I often incorporate case studies from environmental engineering and chemical process industries to make abstract topics more tangible. Witnessing students not only improve academically but also develop curiosity and problem-solving skills is my greatest motivation. Outside of teaching, I stay engaged with innovations in environmental technology and enjoy exploring nature, both of which fuel my passion for inspiring students to see science and engineering as tools for creating a more sustainable and safer future.
