Service
Department, College, and University
Annual Merit Review Committee, Committee Member, I have worked on the MRC committee in 2025 for evaluating the performance of the faculties during 2024. It was great to work on this committee since I learned a lot about how to prepare the evaluation application. Moreover, it paved the way for my tenure preparation in each year by balancing the research, teaching, and service. , 02/14/2025 - present
