Statement of Teaching Philosophy

I believe that effective teaching is not only about transferring knowledge, but also about inspiring curiosity and cultivating critical thinking. As a lecturer, my role is to empower students with both conceptual clarity and practical relevance. I use real-world cases, structured frameworks, and open dialogue to create a participative learning environment. My industry background allows me to bring authenticity to the classroom, while my research interest ensures that I stay at the frontier of knowledge. I am committed to student-centered education that encourages ethical reflection, interdisciplinary exploration, and lifelong learning.
