Biography

I am currently the vice head (education) of the department of physics and an active teaching developer. My research activities range from computational modeling of nanomaterials ro physics education research.

Research interests

I do research on two separate fields: i) novel university-level physics teaching and assessment practices and ii) low-dimensional nanomaterials, especially carbon nanomaterials, for their structural, mechanical, vibrational, electronic, and electromechanical properties using computational methods ranging from continuum to first-principles electronic structure methods.
