Ruiyuan Mu

Physics Teacher

Mu graduated from Tianjin University in China with a bachelor's degree in Optoelectronic Science and Technology. He then earned master's degrees in Nuclear Physics and Electrical Engineering from Mississippi State University in the United States. His research interests include the electron spin properties of heavy atoms and antenna design for 3G networks.

Mu teaches "Introduction to Physics" and "Advanced Physics: Mechanics." He helps students develop analytical and interpretative skills to solve real-world problems. Mu is also the coach for the Class of 2026.

Mu is student-centered and respects each student. He tailors his approach to each student, believing that everyone has their unique qualities and strengths that can be discovered and developed. In his teaching, Mu combines physics with real-world applications, helping students understand concepts and acquire skills through various approaches. Additionally, he excels at teaching exam-oriented courses and provides personalized exam preparation guidance to each student.

PHYS1003: Introduction to Physics

Introduction to Physics is a foundational science course that invites you to observe and investigate nature like a scientist. You could meet different scenarios where physics can support the real world, and experiments and seminars will have your back for analyzing those cases. You will probably find another perspective to understand how nature is changing and developing as the course goes on. We will build connections among mass, energy, and their interactions; and also sail from waves to electromagnetism. Hope that your one-year journey is worthwhile.

Course selecting recommendations:

PHYS1003 is an introductory-level physics course with minimal math requirements. Throughout the learning process, we will emphasize fundamental concepts of physics and the application of physics models to explain real-life phenomena. We will de-emphasize calculations and instead focus on using acquired knowledge to work on projects and solve practical problems, enhancing general foundational skills across disciplines.

PHYS5003: Advanced Physics: Mechanics

Advanced Physics: Mechanics is an algebraic-based course learned through inquiry and experimentation. This course aims to enable learners to understand basic physical phenomena, describe physical phenomena in scientific language, understand basic scientific research methods, and apply basic knowledge of quadratic equations and trigonometric functions.

As the preferred course for advanced physics, Advanced Physics (Mechanics) will take you to explore the principles behind various phenomena. Through rigorous reasoning and calculation, you will explain and even predict some phenomena in life, and solve some common mechanical problems.

Course selection recommendations:

PHYS5003 is an advanced-level physics course and also serves as a preparatory course for the College Board's exam AP Physics 1. During the learning process, we will cover physics concepts and models faster and more deeply, including a significant focus on exam preparation and test-taking skills.

The Roar of the Mortar: An Invincible Siege Weapon

Disciplines/Subjects: Physics, Engineering, Computer Science Key Themes: Experiment Design, Scientific Calculation and Derivation, Engineering Manufacturing and Processing What is the experience of designing and making a "weapon"? Let's feel together with the students from Introduction to Physics, experience the hardships of the process and the beauty of the results, the agony of failure and the joy of success. Welcome to our Physics Project Exhibition. In this project, students have designed and simulated an important historical task from a war scenario—accurately hitting an enemy command center with simulated artillery shells. In this challenge, students not only apply fundamental principles of physics but also require innovative thinking, practical experimental design, and the application of their knowledge to solve real-world problems. The core task of the project is to use an existing tennis ball launcher or various "weapons" designed and built by students to simulate the firing of artillery shells. By adjusting parameters such as launch angle and initial velocity, students aim to hit distant targets with precision. The challenge was completed in three different ways: Experimental Method: Students designed and implemented multiple experiments to explore how launch angle and initial speed affect the trajectory of the balls. Through data analysis, they determined the optimal launch parameters. Theoretical Method: Using the physics of projectile motion, students performed precise mathematical calculations to predict the landing point of the artillery shells, determining the exact launch angle and velocity needed to hit the target. Engineering Design Method: Some students took on the challenge of designing and building their launchers. Through experimental testing, they continually refined their devices, striving to improve shooting accuracy through precise engineering. This project not only involves fundamental physics knowledge but also cultivates students' creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Through this exhibition, you will see how students have turned theoretical knowledge into practical solutions, demonstrating their learning journey from theory to application.
