"I have been teaching chemistry for over 10 years at different universities and colleges. These range from the University of Dresden, Germany where I obtained my Masters, the University of Auckland, New Zealand during my PhD and the University of Queensland, Australia in my Postdoctoral years.

Since 2022 I’m teaching my own chemistry classes at Hood College and Frederick Community college. These include general chemistry 1 and 2 (CHEM 6A, CHEM 6B and CHEM 6C), general inorganic chemistry 1 and 2 and chemistry for non-science majors. Since my early years of teaching I had the opportunity to introduce and advance hundreds of students into the field of chemistry, prepare them for upcoming exams, quizzes, assignments and test. During this time, I identified many topics and concepts students tend to struggle with and develop methods the help students to master these concepts.

Previously I have been conducting research (Computational Chemistry based on DFT, VASP) at the National Institute of Standards and Technologies.

Among other I do cover the following topic in class:

Stoichiometry

Balancing Equations

Ideal Gas Law & Real Gas Laws

Quantum Numbers & Electron Configuration & Orbital Diagrams

Thermodynamics I & II

Lewis Model & Structures

VSEPR Theory

Molecular Orbital - Theory

Intermolecular Forces

Unit conversion

Chemical Kinetics & Reaction Kinetics

Phase Diagrams and Heating Curves

Chemical Equilibria

Acids and Bases

Buffer Solutions

Electrochemistry

Radiation and Nuclear Chemistry
