Teaching
We are committed to educating and advising the next-generation of science and engineering from all backgrounds. In particular Prof. Kim enjoys exploring and implementing new teaching pedagogies that can “flip” the classroom and improve student experiences through active learning. In all my teaching experiences I have always focused on the fundamentals first and found great satisfaction in the growth students can make. To promote this growth mindset, I have found Joe Feldman’s book to have great components that can even be carried out in higher education.
University of Florida – Electrical and Computer Engineering
Understand the fundamentals of statistical and quantum physics relevant for applications in solid-state devices, semiconductors, quantum science and engineering, and information theory.
Students will learn the fundamentals of electromagnetic fields, from waves guided by transmission lines to generalized Maxwell’s equations and Poynting’s theorem. The learning process will be facilitated by examples from electromechanical energy conversion research. Practical aspects, such as the electromagnetic skin effects, will be emphasized throughout the course.
Before starting at UF
Invited instructor for a course on Neutron Scattering (2018)
Teaching Assistant for APh/MS 106c States of Matter (Grad Course) (2014-2016)
Teaching Assistant for APh/MS 120 Diffraction and Structure (Grad Course) (2013)
Paid Teaching Assistant for Math 127: Calculus I
Mentoring
Mentoring satisfaction from large classroom settings to one-on-one nature of dealing with graduate students and post-docs is a contributing factor I always planned to lead my own research group. I will adapt a “leaders eat last” mentality and hope to first and foremost educate, train, and prepare students in my classroom and research group for their future successes.
