Dr. George Quainoo enjoys teaching physics because of the way 鈥測ou can look at your environment and tell students why each phenomenon works.鈥 He encourages students to investigate things for themselves. One way that he allows students to do this is through access to the research equipment he brings with him.
Professor Quainoo also encourages his students to take on their own projects and use his lab space to investigate their interests. 鈥淲e have a unique experience for our physics and engineering students in that our availability to our students is instant,鈥 he says. He praises the Physics Hub, a place for students to gather and collaborate, for the unique聽way it allows professors聽to guide and assist students.
Faith is an important aspect not only to Quainoo鈥檚 personal life, but also in physics. 鈥淚 like having fellowship with students during chapel on campus,鈥 he says, and he is excited when he can bring an intersection between faith and knowledge into the classroom. Quainoo explores how faith works together with the material from a physics perspective.
