Teaching Philosophy

My approach to education

🎯 Student-Centered Learning

I believe in putting students at the center of the learning experience. My courses combine theoretical foundations with hands-on practical exercises, allowing students to apply bioinformatics concepts to real-world problems.

💻 Computational Focus

Given my research background, I emphasize computational thinking and programming skills. Students learn not just the "what" but the "how" of bioinformatics algorithms and data analysis.

🔍 Research-Integrated Teaching

I incorporate cutting-edge research findings and current trends in bioinformatics into my courses, giving students exposure to the latest developments in the field.

🤝 Collaborative Learning

I encourage peer collaboration and group projects, mirroring the collaborative nature of modern scientific research and preparing students for team-based work environments.
