Teaching

I believe that teaching is just as important as research because while researchers discover new knowledge, teachers discover new leaders. Personally, I am most interested in teaching classes related to Water Resources Engineering; however, I have also enjoyed teaching other courses with comparable effectiveness. The following are a listing of courses that I have taught as an assistant/associate professor at the University of Jamestown (UJ), as an instructor at University of the Philippines Los Banos (UPLB), and as teaching assistant at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) and Texas A&M University (TAMU).

I am a proponent of the "classroom without walls" concept, i.e., learning should not be confined within the four walls of a classroom. Hence, if you are a student and would like to schedule a one-on-one meeting with me - please do not hesitate to email me.
