Kyle Beyer
Director, the REPS Lab
My role as an educator is the cornerstone of being a successful professor as it requires the ability to transfer scientific knowledge into relevant and engaging material for students. My primary responsibility is to encourage and provide opportunities for students to bridge the gap between science and practice. I aim to promote critical thinking and emphasize an applied understanding of the material by incorporating research articles, case studies, and real-world examples into the class. Through passionate and enthusiastic lectures, hands-on activities, and in-class discussion, I engage students with a variety of learning styles and diverse backgrounds and interests.
