As a physicist, disseminating knowledge of physics to various audiences has the same level of joy as of creating physics knowledge for the sake of its own, through extensive research. I see teaching as a collective intellectual process that connects the teacher and the student to convey knowledge between them. This knowledge should not be limited to the information, but to the concepts, and thought processes that make up physics as a subject. My essential objective as a teacher is to keep students involved in the subject and expose them to knowledge to inspire their own thought processes. My teaching philosophy highlights the essential need to teach students how to think critically. The development in physics has always relied on someone asking the correct question. The process of encouraging the critical thinking of students will be supported by making the subject more interesting and involve them in physics. Creating inquiry-enabled class space by encouraging students to ask questions, plays a vital part in my practice of teaching.
My research interests are focused Cosmology and gravitational physics of standard gravity and alternative gravitational theories such as conformal gravity. The shortcomings of standard cosmological theory encompass the lack of explanation on the ending of the inflation, the lack of observational evidence of dark matter, and specifically the failure to create or detect super particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during their last run, which was operated around the same energies as predicted by the theory of supersymmetry. These shortcomings of the standard cosmological theory made me interested in exploring alternative gravitational theories. In addition to my main research, I am also interested in to quantum gravity related topics inspired by the quantum nature of conformal gravity and non-local gravity as one of the main alternative standard gravity projects.
