Teaching & mentoring
Teaching philosophy
I teach undergraduate and graduate students across control, dynamical systems, signal processing, engineering mathematics, programming, and embedded systems. My teaching connects mathematical foundations with modelling, simulation, software, and physical implementation.
Each course begins with theory, builds physical intuition, develops a structured approach to problem-solving, and culminates in implementation. Students define their assumptions, connect equations to system behaviour, validate each decision, and translate models and algorithms into simulation, software, or physical systems.
