About myself:

I have master’s degree in Engineering and Finance, currently I am working in finance area in Energy industry. I am passionate in innovating the outdated educational model using an integrated way. I am deeply frustrated by the assembly line approach of the science education: things are chopped and grouped in a counterintuitive way to facilitate teaching, at the cost of the learners’ experience. This assembly line model spawns a monstrous body of knowledge that’s disconnected and overwhelming, impossible for any human to digest in full. So I want to bridge the knowledge gaps by following an integrated model, rather than academic chore: teach in a way blurring the boundaries between different subjects so that the content flows. Once content flows, learners will find the learning experience pleasant and rewarding. My courses will be created following that motto. The topics will include science and technology.

My presence:

I use Youtube channel as my studio to develop free educational videos. Once I see fit, contents in those videos will be merged and crystalized into complete and integrated courses on Udemy. You are welcome to go to my channel if you want to have a more frequent update on my stuff. My blog is currently under construction and I will be sharing more insights about learning there.
