teaching

Course: Solid State Electronics
Instructor: Prof. Kang L. Wang
Teaching Assistant, Winter quarter, 2018 @ University of California, Los Angeles

This lecture includes

• the fundamentals of carrier transport in semiconductors and devices from Macro to Meso and to Nano scales and quantum value and limit;
• foundations so that one can tackle new problems in research and in working places;
• current research directions: advanced CMOS and beyond, spintronics and magnetism.

I have

• assisted lecturer with the slides preparation and discussed the fundamentals of physics;
• prepared and graded homework;
• prepared and graded midterm and final exam;
• implemented office hour for graduate students to explain the physics details in the lecture or the slides. This includes one-on-one instruction, group teaching and homework help.

Course: Laboratory for General Physics I & II
Teaching Assistant, Spring 2016 & Fall 2015 & Spring 2015 @ The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

This lecture includes

• experiments in mechanics and heat are chosen to illustrate the experimental foundations of physics presented in the lecture courses;
• experiments in static and current electricity and magnetism, and optics are chosen to illustrate the experimental foundations of physics in the lecture courses.

I have:

• explained the physics details in a lecture ranging from a half hour to one hour for every experiment;
• helped and guided the students with the principles and technical setups when they carried out the experiment;
• read and graded the reports after class;
• arranged office hour for the undergraduate students to ask questions and understand more about the physics.

Course: Astronomy for Beginners
Teaching Assistant, Summer 2015 @ The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

This lecture includes

• introduction to our Universe, observation in astronomy, origin of modern astronomy;
• Newton’s law of motions, gravity, light, atoms and telescope;
• the Sun, stellar formation and evolution, white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes;
• the Milky way Galaxy, Normal galaxies, active galaxies and supermassive black holes;
• foundation of modern cosmology, dark matter, dark energy and the fate of the Universe.

I have:

• read and graded the homework after class;
• arranged office hour for the undergraduate students to ask questions and understand more.
