  • Established outstanding reputation as an educator with a distinguished record of classroom teaching and mentoring of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students. Regularly teach and create innovations (e.g. flipped classroom) in Introductory Materials Science courses for engineers, and courses on Thermodynamics, Electronic and Optical Materials, and Diffusion.<\/li>
  • Pioneered new Career Discovery Group and Freshman seminars on topics of universal interest. Examples include:\u00a0 \u201cWhat in the World Will You Do?; \u201cAn Cradle to Grave Look at Materials; \u00a0\u201cNanomaterials for Bioapplications; and\u00a0 \u201cIndian Classical Music\u201d.<\/li>
  • Taught Integrated Studies course \u201cThe Way Life Works\u201d to Honors Challenge students. Invited to teach a new interdisciplinary course \u201cAmorphous Solids\u201d at Stanford University.<\/li>
  • Author of well-known textbook Introduction to Phase Equilibria in Ceramics that enjoys an international audience in over 30 countries.<\/li>
  • Undiluted commitment to undergraduate and graduate education and love for teaching at all levels. Student feedback uniformly in praise,\u00a0 particularly citing clarity and ability to stimulate class interest by giving examples from experiences in industry and research.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Some comments from UC-Davis students:<\/strong><\/p>

    \u201cProfessor Risbud rises beyond the call of duty for his students for one sole reason: because he genuinely cares about them, believes in them, and wants to see them succeed\u201d<\/p>

    \u201cProfessor Risbud was very helpful. He believes that no student should ever be left behind. Nearing the end of the quarter, I just needed to ask for the help I required, and he set aside his own time to make sure I aced the final in order to pass the class. A very friendly professor who\u2019s not afraid to help\u201d<\/p>

    \u201cThe absolute best professor in the world! He really cares about every single student, he does his best to learn names, always tries makes himself available outside of class if students need additional help! He deserves an award for being the best.\u201d<\/p>

    \u201cGreat professor! Lectures are very interesting\u2013he adds a lot of his own experiences from the field which are intriguing…Very readily available for outside help.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
