Karim Hossain, Ph.D., a native of Bangladesh, joined the PennWest Edinboro University in 1987 with the passion to make physics fun! He gained a strong foundation in physics through graduate research from Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville, which was focused on laser physics. When he began teaching, he realized that students in physics courses exhibited an anxiety that limited their motivation to learn. To improve students’ learning situation through teaching techniques, Dr. Hossain pursued a PhD in Physics Education at the State University of New York – Buffalo. He is always exploring and presenting effective ways of instructional techniques.
