My teaching statement: I aim to provide an inclusive learning environment for my students and to promote experiential learning practices in my courses. I strongly believe a collaborative learning space is essential for cultivating diversity and intellectual curiosity.
Teaching background: I am a games professor and I primarily teach courses on the design and development of video games. My course topics are centered on game user experience, level design, narrative design, environment design, collaborative game development, game programming, game AI, technical design, programming design patterns, and game optimization.
I strive to incorporate topics from my research projects into my teaching.
