I care about dynamic and engaging teaching, dedicated to student success:
Including polls with immediate feedback in lecture settings
Using flipped classrooms in small class settings
Incorporating real-world applications via demos and computer labs
One-on-one meetings with highly interested or struggling students
Syllabus.pdfMath 2270 -- Linear Algebra (University of Utah).
This course is a first course in linear algebra without proofs. I am teaching this course (Spring 2026), and previously taught this course in Spring 2025.
Topics include:
 Solving linear systems using matrices,
Isomorphisms and linear maps
Orthogonal projections,
Forays into Fourier series, the mathematics of sound, and image compression.
See the attached file for my course syllabus.
University of Michigan: Math 216 (Primary Lab Instructor)
This course is an introductory applied differential equations course, and is part of the University of Michigan's introductory calculus sequence. I taught this course in Fall 2022.
We do cool labs, where we use a combination of differential equations theory and differential-equation solving software. In particular, we use differential equations to model:
Cancer, via the Gompertz equation
Oscillators, via the Van der pol Oscillator
Ruby Lasers,
and more!

University of Michigan: Math 116 (Primary Instructor)
In this course we study integral calculus, sequences and Series. This is the second course in U of M's introductory calculus sequence
I taught this course in the first three COVID semesters--Winter 2020, Fall 2020, and Winter 2021--the latter two of which were completely online!

University of Michigan: Math 115 (Primary Instructor)
In this course we study limits and derivatives! This is the first course in U of M's introductory calculus sequence
I taught this course in Fall 2018, Winter 2019, and Fall 2019
