I fell in love with science as a result of great teaching. And in addition to my research, I am eager to instill this same excitement in future students. My commitment to teaching is such that on top of my own postdoc research, I spend 10-12 hours a week teaching multiple courses at Princeton throughout the year. At the end of my courses, I want my students to leave with a new way of understanding and interacting with the world, not just be able to recite some set of facts. To accomplish this, I try to bridge concepts across the disciplines and incorporate computation in my courses. In particular, my current appointment as a lecturer at Princeton is to help instruct students in the Integrated Science Curriculum (ISC), a fast paced, broadly interdisciplinary introduction to the sciences. For more information on ISC, check out https://lsi.princeton.edu/integratedscience.

I've also been a participant with the Science Education Resource Center workshop: Teaching Computation in the Sciences Using MATLAB^® . I was delighted to be one of the webinar hosts following our 2016 meeting. One of the goals of the workshop is to produce peer-reviewed teaching activities. Two of mine have been selected for the Exemplary MATLAB collection.
