CURRICULAR INNOVATIONS 1. In 2017 and 2018, I chaired or severed in our department’s lower division course revision committee. 2. Since 2016, I have entirely redesigned the course of PHYS 230 (General physics with calculus II electro- magnetism), adapted the flipped-classroom method, engaged active learning using reading quizzes and worksheets, and created affordable instructional materials. Hence, I received CSU’s Course Redesign with Technology Award and SFSU’s Affordable Instructional Materials (AMI) Faculty Projects Award. 3. In 2010, I created a brand new lecture-and-seminar course, PHYS 710 Photonics and Nano Materials, to introduce fundamental principles and cutting-edge research progress in the field of photonics materials. 4. In 2010 and 2011, I revised the curricula of transitional advanced laboratory courses, PHYS 490 and PHYS 491 Advanced project lab (I and II), into research-oriented laboratory courses focusing on real-world problem solving, as well as GWAR courses for intensive training in scientific writing.
