Teaching Experience教学经历

I believe that education is not just about transferring knowledge but also about inspiring curiosity and critical thinking. Below you can find information about courses I have taught or assisted with.我认为教育不仅是知识的传递，更是好奇心与批判性思维的启发。以下是我曾讲授或协助讲授的课程。

2025

CHEM2155 Fundamental Organic Chemistry Laboratory CHEM2155 基础有机化学实验室

Undergraduate course/Teaching assistant本科生课程/助教, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Department of Chemistry, 2025

This is the laboratory course designed for non-CHEM students who enrolled in CHEM 2110 or CHEM 2111. Students will perform a series of organic experiments related to the theories learnt in the related lecture courses. Students will be trained to practice a wide range of fundamental organic laboratory techniques, operate chemical instruments, relate the physical and chemical principles and theory in practice, and develop their data interpretation and analytical skills. For non-CHEM students in programs that designate this course as required course/specified elective only.

为修读 CHEM2110/2111 的非化学专业学生设计的有机实验课，训练基本有机实验操作、仪器使用与数据分析能力。

Chem3120 Organic Chemistry II CHEM3120 有机化学 II

Undergraduate course/Teaching assistant本科生课程/助教, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Department of Chemistry, 2025

Continuation of CHEM 2110. Dienes, resonance and aromaticity; electrophilic aromatic substitution and nucleophilic aromatic substitution; benzylic and allylic reactivity; the chemistry of carbonyl compounds and carboxylic acid derivatives; the chemistry of amines; pericyclic reactions.

CHEM2110 的后续课程，涵盖共轭二烯与芳香性、芳环取代反应、羰基化合物化学、胺化学与周环反应等主题。

2024

CHEM3550 Synthetic Chemistry Laboratory II CHEM3550 合成化学实验室 II

Undergraduate Course/Teaching assistant本科生课程/助教, 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.

配合有机化学 II 与无机化学 II 讲授课程设计的实验课，训练有机合成与金属配合物制备，并结合光谱方法表征产物。

SCIE1120 Chemistry and Life SCIE1120 化学与生活

Undergraduate course/Teaching assistant本科生课程/助教, Hong Kong 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.

面向无深厚理科背景学生的通识课程，介绍生命中的化学：从糖类、氨基酸与蛋白质、核酸到脂质等核心分子，再到遗传、疾病、食品健康与生物技术等生命机制。

CHEM4250 Materials Preparation Laboratory CHEM4250 材料制备实验室

Undergraduate Course/Teaching assistant本科生课程/助教, 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.

Teaching Philosophy教学理念

My approach to teaching combines theoretical foundations with practical applications, emphasizing the importance of hands-on experience. I strive to create an inclusive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and engaging in discussions.我的教学方式注重理论基础与实践应用相结合，强调动手经验的重要性。我致力于营造包容的学习氛围，让学生敢于提问、乐于讨论。

I encourage students to not only master the material but also to understand its broader implications and applications in real-world scenarios. My goal is to equip students with both the knowledge and critical thinking skills they need to succeed in their academic and professional careers.我鼓励学生不仅掌握知识本身，更理解其在真实场景中的延伸与应用。我希望帮助学生同时获得知识与批判性思维能力，为学术与职业发展打下基础。

Core principles of my teaching philosophy include:我的教学理念主要包括以下原则：

  • Active learning through problem-solving and discussion通过解决问题与讨论实现主动学习
  • Connecting theoretical concepts to real-world applications将理论概念与实际应用相联系
  • Creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment营造包容互助的学习环境
  • Promoting critical thinking and intellectual curiosity培养批判性思维与求知欲
  • Adapting teaching methods to diverse learning styles因材施教，适应多样化的学习风格
