Teaching 

Over the last 3 decades I have taught numerous courses at the graduate level and some at the undergraduate level. Currently I teach the following courses:

1) AES 670. Satellite Remote Sensing I. Using a hands on approach, this course covers a broad range of topics concerning digital image processing applied to the remote sensing of atmospheric, cloud and surface properties using various satellite data sets (Click here for a short video).

2) AES 770. Satellite Remote Sensing II. Using various satellite data sets and radiative transfer models, this course will train students to calculate and study cloud, aerosol, ocean and land surface properties to assess the radiative energy budget of the earth-atmosphere system.

3) ATS 782. Professional Development. Topics concerning professional ethics, writing scientific journal articles, proposals and resumes, preparing budgets, networking, time management, conference presentations, research administration, funding agencies, stress, and burnout will be discussed.

4) AES 370. Introduction to Remote Sensing.This course introduces the fundamental physics of remote sensing systems and incorporates hands-on exercises of image processing, information extraction and interpretation, and basic applications of airborne and satellite data in Earth System Science and Atmospheric Science.
