Describe your approach to teaching
My approach to teaching is to make chemistry concepts more appealing by referring to practical applications and case studies, alternating lectures with questions and discussions.
What inspires your own work?
My inspiration comes from combining sustainable cleaning products with simple but effective methods that can be easily tailored to suit the task at hand and the specific artwork's needs.
