Jason has been teaching collegiately for 9 years at the JHU Whiting School of Engineering Programs for Professionals. My goal is to make learning fun and enjoyable yet interesting, translating difficult concepts into manageable learning modules that can be easily understood. He hopes that students will be able to take theoretical ideas provided through lectures, readings, assignments, lab activities and discussions then apply what was learned to their professional careers.
