Teaching

At the undergraduate level, I teach Classical Zoology, Environmental Science, and Biochemistry. At the postgraduate level, my teaching responsibilities include Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Instrumentation, and Bioinformatics. Drawing on my academic background in Zoology, Bioinformatics, and Biological Sciences, I aim to help students connect foundational biological concepts with contemporary molecular and computational approaches, fostering both conceptual clarity and practical understanding.
