At McMaster University in Canada, I am responsible for teaching the following courses.

• Spring 2026: Instructor for MATH 1LS3 – Calculus for the Life Sciences
• Fall   2025: Instructor for MATH 3GR3 – Abstract Algebra

Previously, at the University of Minnesota, I taught the following courses.

• Spring 2023: Instructor for MATH 1272 – Calculus 2
• Fall   2022: Grader for MATH 8253 – Algebraic Geometry
• Spring 2022: Instructor for MATH 1272 – Calculus 2
• Fall   2021: TA for MATH 2243 – Linear Algebra & Differential Equations
• Fall   2019: TA for MATH 2243 – Linear Algebra & Differential Equations
• Spring 2019: TA for MATH 2243 – Linear Algebra & Differential Equations
• Fall   2018: TA for MATH 1271 – Calculus 1

And long ago, I graded for the following courses at UC Berkeley.

• Spring 2015: Math 113 – Abstract Algebra
• Fall   2014: Math 116 – Introduction to Mathematical Cryptography

Teaching Methods

Here are some questions that I tend to ask myself when I think about teaching or plan lectures:

• Do I expect my students to enjoy new math like they would enjoy art?
• Are my students comfortable sharing their perspective and feedback with me?
• How do I encourage my students to work together and learn to communicate math?
• How do I help my students be comfortable feeling stuck on problems?
• Does this strategy help increase the attention span of my students?
• What can I learn from my students? Am I open to it?

I’m always open to discuss different pedagogical strategies. Feel free to reach out to me.
