Teaching Philosophy

· “Teaching” is one of the top prestigious professions worldwide. “Impart Knowledge and Educate People” may provide the best description how people respect this profession. There is no exception about it in any culture.

· It is not easy to be a good teacher. I trust that a good teacher needs to have an intense passion for teaching together with full of energy and enthusiasm.

· My teaching should not be about how much and how well I know the subject, but about how much and how well my students can grasp the subject through my teaching.

RESEARCH

Integrated Navigation and

High Accuracy & High Precision Engineering Surveying

Good example for Integrated Navigation is multi-sensor systems, the core of modern direct-georeferencing systems that integrate the GPS/GNSS, Inertial sensors, and any other positioning & orientation sensors available. The research in this area innovates and develops advance algorithms including error modeling, Kalman filtering, robust filtering, system simulation, hardware integration, and real-time & post-processing SW development.

High Accuracy & High Precision Engineering Surveying engages special engineering surveying applications such as deformation monitoring and industrial surveying using modern automatic instruments (automatic total stations, GPS, terrain lidar etc.) and modern math & statistic methodologies.
