I'm Josh Samani, an Assistant Teaching Professor of Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles. I'm passionate about spreading scientific thinking and about helping people learn difficult physics and mathematics.  In my teaching, I draw on the science of learning to optimize physics instruction, and more recently I’ve begun doing classroom-based research on the science of learning.

My doctoral research was in high-energy theoretical physics under Michael Gutperle.

I can be contacted at jsamani@physics.ucla.edu.
