Teaching

Physics, taught hands-on.

Since 2021 I have taught the lab track of the Department of Physics at Bar-Ilan: four laboratory courses and a tutorial, alongside one-on-one cleanroom training at the Nano-Fabrication Center.

What I teach, and what students leave with.

86-251

Electronics Lab

Teaching assistant

Analog circuits from breadboard to Bode plot. Students design, build, and debug real circuits, and learn to trust their oscilloscope over their assumptions.

86-232

Computerized Physics Lab

Teaching assistant

Instrument control and data acquisition. Automating measurements, streaming data, and turning raw signals into results you can defend.

86-129

General Physics Lab

Teaching assistant

First real measurements: mechanics and optics experiments with a heavy focus on uncertainty analysis and honest error bars.

96-900

Preparatory Physics Lab

Teaching assistant

The on-ramp for incoming students: core lab technique, measurement discipline, and confidence around equipment.

Electronics for Physicists

Tutor

Weekly problem sessions that bridge the lecture theory to what happens on the bench in the electronics lab.

Guides and materials I have written for these courses are available to instructors on request.

Cleanroom training

Training researchers at the Nano-Fabrication Center.

As the center's operator I onboard new users and run one-on-one instrument training, then stay on as the person they call when a process misbehaves. The goal is users who work independently and safely, without babysitting.

Who it's for

Graduate students and researchers across BINA, from physics to engineering to life sciences.

Format

One-on-one at the instrument: safety, operation, and the failure modes the manual doesn't mention.

Beyond training

I help groups design fabrication routes for their devices, not just run the machines.
