Bio

My expertise in neuroscience and case method programs of interdisciplinary teaching and learning is quite extensive, leading teams of students and faculties in case collaborations with peer schools nationally and in 7 foreign countries. I have a BS magna cum laude in biological sciences and MS PhD in neuroscience.

My expertise in neuroscience and case method programs of interdisciplinary teaching and learning is quite extensive, leading teams of students and faculties in case collaborations with peer schools nationally and in 7 foreign countries. I have a BS magna cum laude in biological sciences and MS PhD in neuroscience. As an NIH principal investigator I am the founding director of the laboratory for cellular and molecular neuroscience at Harvard while leading a path to innovation in teaching and learning in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

I excel in a tutorial collaborative environment, building partnerships of practice with my students through communication, cooperation, and feedback. Most notably, I developed the interactive case-based online network, ICON that empowers any learner to virtually immerse themselves into any case setting to interact in a real time decision-making, problem-solving situation. I modeled this learning method on the Hopfield neural net and the neural basis of executive functioning skills.

My work is published in scientific journals and 100+ case studies, describing cognitive competencies that help students plan, organize, focus, and manage a new preparedness and confidence in understanding important principles and concepts in their learning. My goal is for students to begin a path to academic success and transformative lifelong outcomes in ways I have seen my students never forget.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

My applied expertise in anatomy is student-centered teaching and learning. My qualifications include: human/clinical anatomy, biomechanics, anatomical pathology, neuroanatomy, structure/function correlates, NREMT, RCP, MedSurg, CT/MR/fMR imaging modalities, EEG/NCV/EKG waveform analysis, 3D computer-assisted brain mapping, and NIH study sections and advisory panels.
Biology

Biology

My applied expertise in biology is student-centered teaching and learning. My qualifications include: tutorial program director in molecular and cellular biology, systems biology, AP biology, science competitions, IXL biology certified skill plans, NREMT, HESI, ASCP, conjugated nanospheres developed for stereotaxic in vivo targeted drug delivery, fos/RNAi genomics, multimedia simulations, NIH study sections and advisory panels, and leading teams of faculties and students in neurobiology case method collaborations with peer schools nationally and in 7 foreign countries.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

My expertise in innovating executive function and regulation skills in case method programs of interdisciplinary teaching and learning is quite extensive, leading teams of students and faculties in case collaborations with peer schools nationally and in 7 foreign countries. Most notably, I developed the interactive case-based online network, ICON that empowers any learner to virtually immerse themselves into any case setting to interact in a real time decision-making, problem-solving situation. I modeled the ICON case method on the Hopfield neural net and the neural basis of executive functioning behaviors that i view as the brain's GPS for navigating tasks. This work is published in 100+ case studies, describing foundational self-advocacy competencies of executive cognitive metrics that help students plan, organize, focus, and manage their behavior on a path to transformative lifelong outcomes.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

My expertise in neuroscience is quite extensive. My qualifications include MS and PhD thesis dissertations in neuroscience, NIH R01 funded work as NIH principal investigator, NIH study section panel advisor, director of the laboratory for cellular and molecular neuroscience, program director in the neuroscience of mind/brain/behavior curriculum, intuitive AI/ML neural-based algorithms, and neuroscience thesis mentor and advisor.
Physiology

Physiology

My applied expertise in physiology is student-centered teaching and learning. My qualifications include: systems physiology, neurophysiology, IXL certified skill plans, EEG/NCV/EKG waveform analysis, neurochemical interactions, structure/function correlates, biomechanics, conjugated nanospheres developed for stereotaxic in vivo targeted drug delivery, fos/RNAi genomics, behavioral state control, mind/brain/behavior, sleep physiology, and NIH study sections and advisory panels.
Psychology

Psychology

My applied expertise in psychology is student-centered teaching and learning. My qualifications include: director of the e-learning tutorial program in human nervous system and behavior, mind/brain/behavior program, neurosis/repression, AP psychology, IB core programs, behavioral science competitions, EPPP, CPCE, NCE, BCBA, MMPI, neural basis of collective memories of jurisprudence in jury trials, fMRI imaging analysis, health and wellbeing assessment scales, trauma systems therapy protocols, executive functioning, and cases in emotional/behavioral dysregulation with unaccompanied minors and public health educational services teams at the US-Mexico border.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

My notable expertise in thesis writing is evident in my Masters and PhD dissertations in neuroscience. My qualifications also include NIH R01 funded proposals as an NIH principal investigator, NIH study section panel reviewer, and thesis mentor/advisor.
Writing

Writing

It’s a collaboration where I’m trying to build a bridge for the student from what’s on the page to the ideas they’re trying to work out in their head – the very thing AI can’t yet do. I want students to see that writing is a way of figuring out what they think, finding a structure for their thoughts so they can see them more clearly in trying to answer questions they don’t already know the answers to. I have directed projects where students adapt their research papers into op-eds which they submit for publication so they can have a voice in a national conversation. My applied teaching expertise in writing and publishing is quite extensive. My qualifications include casebook narratives, competency decision-making assessment, student-centered teaching and learning metrics, NIH principal investigator and author of peer-reviewed publications, R01 and SBIR funded proposals, scientific journal section lead editor, journalism competitions, statements of hypothesis, experimental design. evidence-based protocols, NIH study sections and advisory panels, and print and live media formats.

ExceptIonal Harvard Professor

Dr. James Q. is quintessential of a seasoned neuroscientist who embodies the balance of a mentor and a scientist. As a PhD candidate, I seek high-level guidance to help clarify the deeper layers of my findings while integrating, identifying gaps, and synthesizing the complexity of my hypothesis/project. Not only did Dr. James Q. take the time to meticulously research my topic before our scheduled lessons, he provided a roadmap to guide me during our session that extends far beyond a single session. I deeply appreciate the time and care he took to model how he percieves my dissertation should unfold. He communicates intricate topics with ease. His mentoring style and approach is unforgettable!

Professor Q.

Professor Q. was absolutely amazing. I finally have hope that I can pass the EPPP. He is highly intelligent but never made me feel insecure or doubtful about passing this exam. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROFESSOR Q.!!!
