MESA ECC

Torrance, United States
Sep 2000 - Jun 2002
Tutor 

During these two years I was an employee of the Natural Sciences Department at El Camino College and a member of the M.E.S.A tutor team. I was responsible for tutoring students in three different courses:

 

  • CHEM 1A (Basic Organic Chemistry)
  • CHEM 1B (Advanced Organic Chemisty)
  • MATH 11 (Basic Algebra)

 

In each course I held two 90-minute-long sessions per week, for which I prepared my own worksheets for the students to work on, and I provided all necessary explanations to the students. These session were closely tied in with the regular curriculum, so I had to communicate with the professors of the given courses on a regular basis. I founded the CHEM 1B workshop as it had never been done before. M.E.S.A. stands for Math, Engineer, Science Achievement and is a none-profit organisation that is helping students attain better academic performance in the natural sciences. I am proud to have been amongs the founders of M.E.S.A. while juggling with my own studies.

Tomographyblog.com

Tomographyblog.com snapshot

This is the largest work of mine so far, and the one that I am most proud of. I have started TomographyBlog.com in May of 2007. Since then, this blog has become an important interface for people working in the field of diagnostic imaging to get new information, share ideas, and tackle problems together. In September, 2007 I recruited a friend of mine to help me writing new posts. The site attracts over 5000 visitors per month.

 

SEEKRadiology

SEEKRadiology

In May of 2008, I set out to create an all-in-one type search page that  puts all the relevant search engines in diagnostic imaging on one page. This is what SEEKRadiology is going to be soon. At the moment it only supports three search engines, and it does not have a fix URL of its own, yet.
