REASONS TO BE AT SDSU:
I seem to have a flavor for teaching. Students seem to
like my
lectures for clarity and depth. I like to explain in simple
terms
the main ideas to the students so that they get the bigger
picture.
Moreover, I like to learn new things. This is possible only in
the
academic field. I like the academic freedom in that I can
devote
myself to doing research involving graduate students.
