“Three passions guide my life: the ecstasy of discovery, the search for knowledge, and the sharing of it with my students and global community. Curiosity and absurd bring me the greatest ecstasy that governs me in a discovery endeavor. The search for knowledge helps me stay at the cutting edge of science and technology. Both discovery and knowledge lead me to my teaching mission of sharing knowledge and expertise, which is reflected in the endeavors of my students and everyone who accepts the challenges of these passions”.
