Teaching, Mentoring & Outreach
In alignment with my goal to become a professor and foster inclusive learning environments, I am actively involved in STEM education. I previously developed coursework in quantum computing; I am currently serving as a Teaching Assistant and am collaborating on a team to design an accessible, engaging AI curriculum for K-12 students.
Academic Instruction & Curriculum Development
My commitment to inclusive and accessible education extends directly into my current academic
and professional work:
Teaching Assistant
Engineering Applications Programming (ES-2513) | Spring 2026
Currently aiding engineering students in a laboratory setting as they gain hands-on experience solving technical problems using Python and MATLAB.
Scientific Computing (CS-2503) & Bioinformatics (CS/BIOL-4643/6643) | Spring 2025
Instructed and supported both undergraduate and graduate students, facilitating their understanding of foundational programming, algorithmic problem-solving, and interdisciplinary biological data analysis.
Modern Physics Lab (PHYS-2071) | Fall 2024
Guided students through hands-on experimental physics, responsible for laboratory setup, experimental troubleshooting, and ensuring rigorous data collection.
Curriculum Development
I have actively partnered with faculty and graduate instructors to design, refactor, and launch new technical courses at the university level:
Quantum & Scientific Computing (PHYS/CS-5/7863):
Spearheaded the foundational curriculum development for the university's inaugural quantum computing class, which successfully debuted in the Fall of 2025.
Secure and Trustworthy AI (CYB-4/6203)
Collaborated with graduate staff to design the syllabus and core materials for this new course, currently in its debut offering for the Spring 2026 semester.
Data Science Concepts (DS-2213)
Partnered with the primary professor and graduate assistants to comprehensively refactor and modernize the course curriculum and assignments.
Advanced Quantum Curriculum Design
Drawing on my research background, I have authored course materials—including lecture decks, homework assignments, and technical projects—for a proposed sequence of advanced quantum courses:
Quantum Algorithms,
Quantum Machine Learning, and
Quantum Information Theory
Upcoming K-12 STEM Outreach
I have recently been hired by my university's computer science department to help several faculty members and other graduate students design and develop an accessible, engaging Artificial Intelligence curriculum tailored specifically for high school juniors and seniors. This project aims to prepare and inspire the next generation of students for higher education in STEM.
