I delivered lectures, designed the homeworks, led class discussions, and along with Dr. Kim assigned class projects.

Mentor

Since July 2000, I have mentored PhD students towards their dissertations, so far three students have successfully defended his dissertation in Electrical Engineering. As a mentor, I have first taught new PhD students to critically review published material and to identify the research groups that perform quality research. I have also taught the students to learn from the mistakes of others and to avoid repeating them. I have also sponsored two PhD students through my own research grants.

I have mentored undergraduate researchers in Bioengineering and Computer Science also. I continue to serve on the graduate advisory comittee of students at the University of Washington.

Teaching Assistant

Course: EE 590 (Sep. 1996 – Dec. 1996), a graduate course on Advanced Topics in Digital Computers: Advanced Multimedia Processors and Their Architectures.

Course: BIOEN/EE 568 (Jan. 1996 – Mar. 1996), a graduate course in Image Processing Computer Systems.
