Teaching


My main goals as an instructor are to develop, in my students, (i) tenacity and creativity in problem solving, (ii) mastery of both conceptual and practical course materials, and (iii) excitement for content matter. To these ends, I carefully plan each class with appropriate examples and exercises to best help students thrive in the classroom. I employ active classroom strategies and foster a classroom environment that encourages collaboration and a growth mindset.
