I envision a learning environment that fosters ongoing dialogue and idea sharing without judgment, creating a space for continuous feedback and collaborative knowledge building. My goal is to promote an environment that supports peer-to-peer learning through various tools and methods, such as in-class discussions, online forums, and scheduled recitations. The core of my teaching involves asking many questions. I strive to facilitate multiple conversations, both inside and outside the classroom, encouraging students to think beyond boundaries. I have developed various online learning tools and integrated them into my curriculum.

The clinical method of education has yet to become widespread in applied social science, planning, and engineering fields. Through my two clinic courses at MIT (11.074/11.274 Cybersecurity Clinic and 11.092/11.592 Renewable Energy Clinic), I seek to strengthen the theory and practice of clinical teaching and learning. Clinical education is not the same as any hands-on experiential work. Instead, it begins with understanding the needs of communities seeking assistance and trains students to partner with community groups to help them (i.e., the client communities) co-create outcomes that the entire community can support. I aim to prepare students, as future professionals, to build rapport with frontline communities to promote mutual learning, shared capacity building, and the co-production of science- and technology-informed knowledge.
