Teaching
Our teaching philosophy is based on the idea that effective teaching is informed by cutting-edge research and valuing students’ interests. We often bring my research into the classroom to make the class exciting and update students with the latest scientific developments. That way, students can understand science is not just a classroom theory but has something to do with solving real-world problems, while we learn from the students’ reactions to my research. Therefore, exposing students to a laboratory, both indoor and field scale, is one of our primary teaching styles.

Research mentorship
We hold mentoring students in high regard as an integral facet of the educational process. Over time, we’ve mentored several undergraduate students, particularly those with an interest in groundwater hydrology.

Field teaching
We enjoy teaching students in the field sites. Over the summer of 2021 and 2022, we taught several undergraduate students from the University of Rhode Island, and Puerto Rico in field measurements such as saltwater intrusion geophysics, well installation and monitoring, stream-gauging, etc.
