CHEM1008 Introductory Chemistry

Undergraduate Course/Teaching assistant, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Department of Chemistry, 2024

This course targets science or engineering students with very little to no chemistry background. It provides a general introduction to basic principles of chemistry. Key topics include state of matters, atoms and elements, molecules and compounds, atomic structures and periodicity, molecular structures, quantities in chemical reactions, bonding theories, acids and bases, and solution chemistry.

CHEM4250 Materials Preparation Laboratory

Undergraduate Course/Teaching assistant, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Department of Chemistry, 2024

This is a laboratory course for students to gain hands-on experiences in the preparation of modern materials. Students will have the opportunity to practice the synthesis of materials such as organic polymers, nanoparticles and solid materials. For CHEM students under the four-year degree only. Students with minor in CHEM may seek instructor’s approval for enrollment in the course.

SCIE1120 Chemistry and Life

Undergraduate course/Teaching assistant, Hongkong University of Science and Technology, Department of Chemistry, 2024

The course aims to introduce students without an extensive science background into the chemistry of life and in life as well as some elementary units and mechanisms of life shaped by core chemical molecules and other compounds. Co-taught by lecturers from chemistry and life science, respectively, approximately one half of the course deals with an introduction into the chemical universe that makes life possible; simple sugars and complex carbohydrates, amino acids, peptides and proteins, DNA, RNA and lipids. Interactions and laws governing these substances and ways we can observe what they are doing are covered. The other half of the course is about how these compounds are involved in some of the basic mechanisms of life; from the functions and evolution of membranes to cells all the way up to humans and other organisms; areas covered include genetics and genomics, diseases, food and health, and biotechnology.

CHEM3550 Synthetic Chemistry Laboratory II

Undergraduate Course/Teaching assistant, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Department of Chemistry, 2024

This course was designed and introduced to suit chemistry major students who are enrolling in CHEM 3120 Organic Chemistry II and CHEM 3220 Inorganic Chemistry II, in which it provides students some hands-on experience in organic synthesis and metal complexes formation. Different spectroscopic methods will also be used for characterization of products. The topics of experiments covered in the laboratory course will be related to those taught in the lecture courses.

BME5005 Nano-Biomedicine

Graduate course/Teaching assistant, Southern University of Science and Technology, Department of Biomedical and Engineering, 2021

Understand the basic principles of the application of nanoscience and nanotechnology in biomedicine, and learn about the research progress of new nanobiomaterials in biomedical diagnosis, treatment, intervention, and tissue regeneration and repair.
