Teaching

I started teaching computer science as an undergrad student in 2015 and have loved it ever since!

I've taught in C++, python, and Java covering many topics including introductory computer science (loops, if-statements, functions, ect.), data structures, and artificial intelligence. 

Fall 2023 I am teaching CS 128

For students and fellow instructors I have created a blog of some of my advice and thoughts on teaching related topics!

Research

My PhD research was about how to program computers to think like people.
