Summary
At the University of Victoria, I excelled in translating complex fluid mechanics and material science concepts into understandable lessons, showcasing my ability to simplify intricate theories (soft skill) and my expertise in electrochemical characterization techniques (hard skill). My proactive approach significantly enhanced student comprehension and experimental skills, marking a notable achievement in educational support.
Also, I truly took advantage of the electrochemical science expertise here. The state-of-the-art material synthesis and functionalization techniques broadened my skills to deliver impactful solutions and advance meaningful contributions to the field of sensor development.
