Saja Teeti

Dr. Saja Teeti is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Physics at Louisiana State University Shreveport (LSUS), specializing in both nuclear physics research and physics education innovation. Her academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics (2023) and dual Master's degrees in Theoretical Physics (Birzeit University) and Science (Mississippi State University).

Research interests span two domains:

• Nuclear Structure Physics – Investigating pairing interactions in covariant density functional theory and rotational effects on proton-rich nuclei
• Physics Education Research – Developing evidence-based pedagogical approaches for undergraduate physics education

Current publications focus on nuclear mass calculations, rotational nuclear dynamics, and exotic nuclear phenomena. She teaches PHYS251 (University Physics I) with accompanying lab components (PHYS251L, PHYS252L), maintaining office hours in SC112E.
