Teaching
These are the courses I've TA'd
MAE 207, Bioinspired Mobile Robotics
Graduate level course (ME, EE, BioE)
- Fundamentals of robot locomotion, control and bio-inspired mechanisms (e.g., CPG control in multi-linkage robots, underactutated leg designs).
- Lab-based experimental sessions to build customized quadrupedal robots. link
- Involving robot manufacturing (e.g., 3D printing, and laser cutting), motor control, inverse kinematics and dyanmics.

MAE 156A, Fundamental Principles of Mechanical Design I
Undergraduate level course (ME, EE, BioE)
- Fundamentals of mechanical engineering design principles
- Application of engineering science to the design and analysis of mechanical components.
- Initiation of team design projects that culminate in MAE 156B for with functional prototypes for real engineering applications.
UCSD COSMOS, Cluster 10, Robot Inventors
High school students’ summer school training on higher level STEM education.
- Introductory course on conceptualizing, designing and building customized robots.
- Fundamenatal knowledge on mechanical designs (CAD), prototyping tools (laser cutting, 3D printing), sensing (image sensors), and programming (Python).
- Lectures from faculties and guest speakers, hands-on projects, and a series of student competitions.
