Work Experience

Tufts University, August 2022 - May 2024

I was a graduate teaching assistant for CS 15 Data Structures taught by Milod Kazerounian (fall 2022, spring 2023), Antonella Di Lillo (fall 2022), Fabrizio Santini (summer 2023), and Marty Allen (spring 2024). I primarily worked on and led the course infrastructure team. This involved updating and integrating our autograder, writing tests, developing scripts to automate various tasks (e.g. using MOSS, scraping GitHubs, assigning students to graders), using CI/CD pipelines, and more. I also assisted with other course duties such as grading, office hours, and labs.

Brandeis University, Spring 2020 and Spring 2022

For my work as a teaching assistant (TA) and head TA at Brandeis University, I received the Max Chretien Award. To read about the programming assignments I wrote, please see this GitHub repository. 

In spring 2022, I was a co head TA with Eitan Joseph for Professor Iraklis Tsekourakis for COSI 131A which covers operating systems in Java. I supervised 8 undergraduate TAs and worked closely with Prof. Tsekourakis to deliver course material to a class of 80 students. I presented at assignment tutorials, implemented 4 programming assignments (PAs), and organized homework grading among other duties. 

In spring 2020, I was head TA for COSI 21A Data Structures and the Fundamentals of Computing, taught by Prof. Antonella Di Lillo. I supervised 13 undergraduate and graduate TAs and worked closely with Prof. Di Lillo to deliver course material to a class of 120 students. I prepared, ran, and presented at weekly recitations, wrote and implemented 3 PAs, wrote and solved exam questions, and organized rubrics and grading for all homework assignments. 

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, May - August 2021

I developed an algorithm to identify individual crystals in a sequence of atomic force microscope images of a polymer. The polymer is used as a binder in energetic materials. I worked primarily with Senior Staff Scientist Dr. Christine Orme (Materials Science Division). The algorithm which I developed produces a sequence of masks that label the points in an image that belong to each individual crystal. The rates at which crystals appear and grow to cover the image field can be computed from these masks, and can be used to assess the stability of the polymer. 

I was placed at Livermore through the Summer Undergraduate Laboratory Internship program.

Brandeis University, Fall 2019 and Fall 2021

In fall 2021, I was a TA for COSI 131A Operating Systems taught by Prof. Liuba Shrira. I implemented and prepared 4 PAs, prepared and presented assignment tutorials, and organized PA rubrics and grading.

In fall 2019, I was a TA for COSI 12B Advanced Programming Techniques in Java taught by Prof. Antonella Di Lillo. I developed a PA, presented at recitations, and graded weekly PAs and exams.
