"I am an accomplished organic chemist with over 23 years of expertise in researching and teaching organic, medicinal, and natural products chemistry. Holding a master's degree in organic chemistry and a Ph.D. in pharmaceutical sciences, I possess a diverse professional background.

My extensive knowledge spans drug design and development, medicinal chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, as well as isolation and structure elucidation of natural products, and cancer chemotherapy. This breadth of experience enables me to effectively teach organic chemistry at all levels.

At the core of my teaching philosophy lies innovation and adaptability. I strive to incorporate creative and novel approaches in teaching, tailoring them to the specific needs and academic levels of my students. Recognizing the diverse backgrounds of freshmen students, some of whom may lack prior scientific knowledge, I employ real-life examples, particularly from industrial or pharmaceutical applications, to elucidate complex concepts and engage students in the material. By providing a contextual framework, I aim to inspire curiosity and foster deeper comprehension, facilitating application both within and beyond the classroom setting." less...
