Professional Profile

As a scientist, I am passionate about teaching and research. My teaching and research interests converge and strengthen one another.  My teaching areas are physiology and pharmacology, and the focus of my research is stress physiology of cultured aquatic animals. Specifically, I study the physiological, endocrinological, and immunological changes in stressed animals that affect their growth, reproduction, and disease resistance. The experience and knowledge gained from my research often supports my teaching. My objectives for teaching through research include developing skills for critical thinking, problem solving, analysis, synthesis, and effective communication.
