About Monika
I am currently an Assistant professor at Amity University, Noida, in the Department of Applied Sciences. I am confident that my research interests and teaching experience make me an ideal candidate for your open position.
My current research project, which is an expansion on my dissertation, “Study of Orbital Angular Momentum states of light by Helmholtz Hodge Decomposition,” involves study of singular beams. I have published my dissertation findings in Phys. Rev A, Optics Letters, JOSA A and Optics Communications, and am in the process of publishing my findings from my current research. The laboratory resources at your campus would enable me to expand my research to include experimentally finding and manipulating the Orbital Angular Momentum studies and seek further publications.
Beyond my successes as a researcher (including seven published papers, more than eight conference proceedings, and my current paper in process), I have had extensive experience teaching a variety of courses in Physics. As an assistant professor at Amity University, Noida, I have taught and currently teaching several courses in Physics like Physics of Semiconductor devices, Electronics, Solar Energy Management and Fuel cells, Photonics, at the post graduate level and Applied Physics at the graduate level. As a post graduate student at IIT Delhi, I have served as a teaching assistant for Physics introductory courses and won the university award for outstanding teacher’s assistant. As a Doctoral fellow at IIT Delhi, I have had the opportunity to teach Electrodynamics and Photonics courses at both graduate as well as a post graduate-level. In every class, I strive to include a blend of readings, media, lab work and discussion to actively engage students with the material. I would love the opportunity to bring my award-winning lesson planning and teaching skills to your physics department.

For me, teaching is an important component of an academic career. As a physicist I am motivated not only by the “pleasure of finding things out,” but also explaining them to others. I receive great intellectual pleasure from explaining physical concepts and seeing students understand them. I feel that it is essential to keep students involved in the subject, and convey to them not just the information but the concepts and thought processes that make up physics. In this document I will begin by presenting what physics education means to me, next I will describe my teaching philosophy, finally I will suggest some upper level courses that I would like to teach.
What physics education means to me
To answer the questions of how should one teach physics, it is important to first ask what exactly is physics education? When I just started learning about quantum mechanics, Prof. Ghatak at IIT Delhi, told us the famous quote of Einstein, that Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. This quote summarizes both what education is and is not. Many people outside of physics feel that physics education is about memorizing formulas, but this is certainly not the case. Especially in the information age, any competent student can either look up or re-derive the formulas of our science, so education is not really about that. What is important is having students learn and internalize the methods and concepts of physics. As highlighted by the infamous “Force Concepts Inventory,” many students go through physics classes and learn quite well how to manipulate formulas without ever grasping the concepts behind those formulas . Being able to understand the basic concepts like forces and fields, how they are related to the real world, and how they square with the student’s perception of the world are the essentials of the undergraduate education.
Teaching philosophy
As a double post grad student and then a doctoral fellow at IIT Delhi I had the opportunity to give several lectures on various topics in basic physics, electromagnetics, optics and photonics. My curiosity about teaching also got me the more formal position of being a teaching assistant, which involved helping Prof. Kehar Singh run his class on optical physics and its applications. I chose to participate in teaching because I have always been curious about what it is like, whether I would enjoy it, and if my students would understand what I was talking about. I really enjoyed the opportunities that I got. My teaching philosophy is that it is essential to keep students interested and involved, as the point of education is for students to understand the material. One of the key tools is getting more feedback from the students and adjusting accordingly. In my limited experience, I have found that it beneficial to actively encourage students to keep asking questions during the lectures as well as asking them questions myself. One useful strategy that I would like to try, especially in introductory classes, is the interactive teaching method as advocated by Prof. Ghatak, at IIT Delhi. The point of the method is to get students to discuss conceptual questions and work out model problems in small groups. The effect of this is two fold (1) there is instant feedback on what the students do not understand and (2) discussion with peers helps to transfer the knowledge from students who have grasped it to those students who have not. Surprisingly, this approach has been made to work even in relatively large classes at IIT Delhi.
Advising philosophy
In my career as a teacher, I have worked with graduate and post graduate students, both at IIT Delhi and Amity University. Indeed, it has been a pleasure to work with graduate students, to teach them about physics, and to co-author papers together. In addition to teaching students, I had the opportunities to advise nine students towards their summer projects.
