Teaching

“If you want to master something, teach it.”
- Richard Feynman

I owe a lot to the wonderful teachers and mentors I’ve had over the years—not just in math. One of my English professors helped convince me to do a PhD!

I really appreciate the chance to share ideas with students. Teaching is rewarding, and I usually come away understanding the material a little better myself.

Course design: Understanding Uncertainty

I recently designed and taught Understanding Uncertainty, an introductory statistics and data science course. Instead of starting with a lot of formal machinery, it leans on sampling and programmatic simulation to help build intuition.

The course site includes lecture materials and assignments.

Classroom teaching

I have taught and supported courses across regression, data science, sports analytics, and data collection. A classroom photo from STAT6130:

Teaching at Wharton

I have served as a teaching assistant for:

I also hold a teaching certification from the University’s Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Innovation.

Earlier, I tutored undergraduates in physics and data science.
