I believe that the teaching process should be learner-centered. Therefore, creating an interactive and collaborative environment is a key to engage the learners in the process of acquisition of fundamental skills, such as critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, which applies not only to science but all subjects. I am enthusiastic in using different teaching and learning (TL) approaches, such as problem-based learning (PBL), project-based PBL, case studies, hands-on learning such as laboratory/practical sessions and field trip study, etc. to enhance students’ learning experience. I also constantly incorporate technology into my classes, including blended learning with video, online forum, online games, flipped classroom, canvas, MOOC, OCW, etc.

My research interest is animal disease ecology. I have been conducting multi-disciplinary research on microparasites (viruses and bacteria) and ectoparasites of wild and urban animals including primates, rodents, birds, fishes and pest insects, as well as environmental microbiology. I have been involved in field survey and sampling, laboratory studies and using genetic data to investigate the animal hosts, microbiome, parasites and their diseases for the ecological and health implications.
