I have two years of experience as a lecturer and five years as a tutor in The University of Hong Kong, teaching courses related to general science, astronomy, and physics. All the courses were taught in English. My first publication in a local refereed journal is about teaching mathematics in Hong Kong secondary schools (high schools). I also organized science workshops for secondary school students. My teaching contents are summarized below.
Science and media
The media play a crucial role in sharing scientific knowledge to the public. However, wrong concepts including pseudo-science ideas are often seen as well. It is important to explore how scientists could work effectively with the media people (e.g., journalists), and understand what kind of challenges we may have. I have written a popular science article (in Chinese) for primary school (elementary school) students in a Hong Kong family magazine.
Science and music
Music is an art, but it is also related to science and technology. Many scientific/mathematical concepts are involved in the design of instruments and musical concepts such as harmony. The history of music can be interestingly compared with the history of science and technology.
History of astronomy
Astronomy is arguably the oldest natural science. Our ancestors once thought that they were the centre of a small universe, but now we understand that the universe is much larger than we can imagine. It took us more than two thousand years to accumulate our knowledge, with a lot of twists and turns during the way.
Mathematical methods for science
Science students need to learn concepts in calculus, matrix, statistics, etc. The ability to utilize mathematical software such as Octave is also very important especially for physical sciences.
The physical universe
The topics include different coordinate systems, optics, telescopes, basic celestial mechanics, Planck's law, etc.
Introductory quantum physics
Concepts regarding the wave-particle duality, Schrödinger Equation, and the structure of hydrogen atom, are introduced.
