Teaching and Outreach
Teaching and mentoring students is a big focus of mine and one of my main functions at the University of Waterloo. I have had the previlage of teaching both and secondary and post-secondary levels. I also like to raise awareness about science through programs like Skype A Scientist.
Most of my teaching has focused on design thinking, product development and engineering design. Notable courses I have taught include:
