Personal Teaching and Mentoring Philosophy
I consider
learning to be a highly individualized process for which my role
as a teacher is to assist individuals to identify the modes of learning
which work best for them. In fact, my advice to teaching assistants
with whom I have worked is to be as creative in their teaching style
as possible. By striving to find new creative angles to present
information, a natural result is enhanced learning and perceived
excitement for the topic. I personally have enjoyed the advances
in computer technology that have allowed for dynamic Powerpoint
presentations into which I can easily incorporate video clips.
It has been my good fortune to witness nearly 70 graduate students
complete their degrees while working in my laboratory. Currently,
there are 7 doctoral students and 3 masters students working on
their research projects in my lab. Yes, it does take much time and
effort to train such a group of students, but the mentoring adventure
is what, in part, motivates me to continue searching for funding
for my research. Additionally, I have been fortunate to have high
degrees of camaraderie amongst the students in my lab, hence they
play a large role in training each other. More importantly, the
way I look at it, I have come to make many good friends while students
have worked with me on my research interests.

Interests
- The physiology of skeletal and cardiac muscle (studied in vivo,
in situ and in vitro).
- The pathophysiology of human skeletal muscle (disorders include:
malignant hyperthermia, myotonic dystrophy, recessive generalized
myotonia, myotonia congenita, Schwartz-Jampel syndrome, paramyotonia,
hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, and hypokalemic periodic paralysis).
- The effects of anesthetic agents on the function of extrafusal
and intrafusal skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle.
- The development of novel instrumentation and biomedical devices
for physiological monitoring, clinical evaluation and/or therapeutic

system (e.g., tremor, shiver and clonus).
- Anesthetic effects on the physiology of thermoregulation and
biomedical applications of heat transfer in humans.
- Noninvasive and invasive correlates of wound formation, status,
