Teaching
I have regularly taught undergraduate and graduate courses that cover topics such as dynamical systems,
mathematical modeling and computational mathematics for ordinary & partial differential equations.
In the past, I have taught frosh calculus classes too.
Recently, I have been teaching a fall semester course for the Honors College titled, “Science as a Way
of Knowing”. We developed a few informal YouTube videos for the class and they are @
