Blog

I posted this blog initially on the electronic blackboard for the courses I taught, hoping that the students would find some of the covered topics interesting and thought provoking. One of my goals as an instructor is to inspire a trend of continuous learning among the students, by understanding the need for maintaining and upgrading their knowledge with the new technologies, as well as for integrating and connecting gained knowledge across related disciplines.

The blogs link to videos or articles describing the latest scientific advancements, technological breakthroughs, predictions of future technologies, or simply stories that I liked and wanted to share with others.
