Watershed Hydrology

Undergraduate course, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Department of Nature Resources and Environmental Science, 2025

This course focuses on understanding the processes of hydrology (e.g., physical hydrology, plant water use, and stress response), the societal applications of hydrology (e.g., irrigation, drought monitoring, water sustainability for ecosystems, life-cycle analysis of water and food), and the state-of-the-art methodology to study hydrology (e.g. satellite, numerical modeling).

Introduction to Environmental Studies Laboratory

Undergraduate course, Baylor University, Department of Environmental Science, 2022

This course is to expose students to concepts of scientific sampling, data analysis and presentation and introduce students to basic envrionmental sampling techniques.

Environmental Chemistry Laboratory

Undergraduate course, Baylor University, Department of Environmental Science, 2021

This course is an introduction to experimental, field sampling and analytical methods in environmental chemistry. Emphasis on separation and detection of both organic and inorganic compounds in soil, water and air via spectrometric, colorometric, chromatographic, and fluorometric instrumentation.
