I am strongly committed to active teaching strategies that push students to do more than just listening and taking notes.
Dr. Shadnaz Asgari is recognized as having the hallmarks of the most effective teacher-scholars. She incorporates her research, which looks at patterns in biomedical data to diagnose and treat patients with various neurological and cardiovascular disorders, into her courses. She is part of a multidisciplinary team creating a biomedical engineering program at CSULB. She is also playing a key role in implementing a program funded by a $24 million National Institutes of Health award, which will prepare underrepresented students for doctoral programs and biomedical research careers.
In just three years at CSULB, Dr. Asgari has had a substantial impact on students and the university, earning her the Early Academic Career Excellence Award at CSULB.
