Expertise

As a teacher, I aim to perpetuate knowledge and inspire learning. I encourage students to engage with the topic at hand, with me, and with each other in the belief that good teaching depends upon intellectual exchange. I believe in a flexible manner of instruction, responsive to the unique atmosphere of a given class. In conducting either a large lecture or small seminar, I am well aware of students different experiences and temperaments in hopes of developing their strengths while ameliorating their weaknesses.

This is my habit to engage, challenge, and inspire growth in my students which is not limited to the classroom only.  I worked with over half a dozen post graduates students as a research mentor and supervising five students for their Ph.D work. It is my goal to share with students the awe and excitement, as well as the dedication and hard work, that comes along with using Forensic research tools to solve problems. My work was mainly related to GPS and its application in field of crime scene investigation, developing tools and techniques for restoration of serial numbers on different articles, developing new tools for fingerprint development on various articles.
