    • Mechanical Force and Biomolecules . IQB 272

    Explores single-molecule biophysics and the role of mechanical force in biomolecular behavior. Emphasis is placed on modern experimental techniques and the effects of mechanical stress on DNA conformation, protein unfolding, and force-generation by motor proteins. Recent literature is used throughout.

    PHYS139 . Saleh O A 2 Years Ago

    Prof. Saleh is extremely intelligent, but also super down-to-earth. I feel extremely lucky to have taken his class. Go to office hours, attend lectures, and you will succeed.

    PHYS139 . Saleh O A 3 Years Ago

    He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches, which makes lectures entertaining and very much worth attending. He also dabbles in self deprecating humor, making him likeable as a person. He is a bit disorganized at times, (not terrible). After refining his curriculum, this will likely fade. A very promising start to PHYS 139

    MATRL100A . Saleh O A 13 Years Ago

    Good professor. He's smart and his lectures are enjoyable. Homework was easy (assigned out of the book) and tests were easy. overall an easy class.

    MATRL100A . Saleh O A 13 Years Ago

    Tests are not difficult but favor over-justification. Omar seems highly knowledgeable and is able to adress most in-class questions. Would take a class of his again.
