Teaching Team

I am a former graduate student of Bjorn, and my research is on differential equations and dynamical systems; I also have a history project on early US diplomatic history.

Some of my hobbies are karate, going to the mountains and reading various (history) books. On the second image on the right you can see me with my teammates from Brown's karate club.

Hey guys! I'm a sophomore APMA-CS concentrator from Brooklyn, NY. I love to bake, read, and eat bagels!

Hi Everyone! I am a junior concentrating in Applied Mathematics - Computer Science and Economics. I am from Southern California and outside of school love to bake, play golf, and read.

Hi! I'm Elaine Kim and I'm a sophomore concentrating in Applied Math-Econ and Sociology from near San Francisco, California. In my free time, you'll find me crocheting, journaling, and taking walks to India Point Park.

Hello! I'm Nader Maarouf, a junior concentrating in Applied Math-Biology on the pre-med track. In the future, I hope to become a physician-scientist so I can not only provide care to patients and conduct impactful research but also teach and travel. Outside of class, I do research on GI cancers in the Liver Research Center, volunteer at the Miriam Hospital ER as well as the Refugee Dream Center, and manage Arab Society as well as Humanitarian Society. Please reach out if you're interested in any of these activities!

I love to exercise particularly strength training, running, and mixed martial arts. I also really enjoy peer advising including academics, careers, and general campus life. You're more than welcome to come to me if you ever need anything inside or outside of the classroom. Taking APMA 0350 helped me decide on my concentration which led to me securing competitive research positions. I wish you all the best in the course this semester and I look forward to meeting all of you! Contact me personally via email: nader_maarouf@brown.edu

Hi! I'm a second year APMA-Bio major from Boulder, Co. Outside of apma related activities I enjoy soccer, tossing, and nature.

Hello! I'm Haley, a junior from Los Angeles studying APMA-Bio, and I'm thrilled to be on the teaching staff this semester! Outside of class, I'm involved with Brown's Association of Women in Math and the Sheridan Center, but you can also find me catching naps on the green or hoarding lattes at Blue State.

I'm so excited to meet you all! We have a great teaching team and I hope we can make your APMA0350 journey as smooth as possible :)

Hi! I'm a second semester junior studying Applied Math and Computer Science and I'm super excited to be your TA this year! Outside of class I play violin in Brown's Orchestra and captain the Women's Varsity Equestrian team but when I'm not doing either of those things I live in the Barus and Holley cafe.

I took 350 with Bjorn a couple semesters ago and really loved it so I'm hoping I can help make the experience equally enjoyable for you all (especially now that we are back in person). I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi all!! I'm a Senior from Naples, FL studying APMA, and I'm really excited to be one of your TA's for 350 this semester! Outside of class, I am involved with a political group on campus and work on research with a professor in the Department of Epidemiology. I also really love to cook, run and play tennis!

Feel free to reach out if you need anything. I'm looking forward to meeting you all :)
