27-210: Materials Engineering Essentials
TA, Carnegie Mellon Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 2023
I co-taught our sophomore professional skills class, teaching the half of the course focused on engineering computation in MATLAB.
Teaching: Preparation, Experience, Recognition
27-100: Engineering the Materials of the Future
TA, Carnegie Mellon Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 2023
I taught our first-year undergraduate introductory MSE course in Spring 2023 and will do so again starting in Spring 2025. I undertook a substantial redesign of the curriculum to have three units focusing on structure, properties, and processing of materials rather than the more standard metallurgy-focused approach
Future Faculty Program
Teaching Preparation, Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Educational Innovation, Carnegie Mellon University, 2020
“The Future Faculty Program helps graduate students develop and document their teaching skills in preparation for a faculty career. Participants in this program learn the principles of effective course design and pedagogy through our seminars, receive feedback on their teaching through teaching feedback consultations, and apply what they have learned in completing a course & syllabus design project and a statement of teaching philosophy project.”
MIT 3.23
TA, MIT Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
I served as a teaching assistant to the first-year graduate course 3.23: Electronic, Optical, and Magnetic Properties of Materials, taught by Prof. Geoffrey Beach, and won both the college- and university-level graduate student teaching awards for this service. Responsibilities included writing problem sets and solutions, giving recitation lectures, and holding office hours and exam review sessions.
Science and QR Tutor
Tutoring, Yale University, Dean's Office, 2011
I served as a Science and QR (quantitative reasoning) tutor through the Yale Dean’s office. Students who were struggling in their classes could apply for a tutor and I would meet with them one-on-one and help them learn material and work on their homework. I tutored for a variety of classes including calculus and introductory physics.
