Teaching

I have been an instructor for courses on building and utilizing simulations in the cognitive and information sciences, and biology at Indiana University Bloomington. I am also interested in teaching applied dynamical systems theory. Since being awarded the NSF GRFP, teaching has not been a part of my job, but I still take mentorship seriously. Below you can find a brief summary of my past roles.

Computation in the Cognitive and Information Sciences (COGSQ-320)

Where: Indiana University Bloomington

Semester: Fall

Role: Assistant Instructor

Offered: 2022

"Develop computer programming skills, learn to write programs that simulate cognitive processes, and run experiments with human subjects. The relation between computation and intelligence and a selection of approaches from artificial intelligence will be explored." 

Multicell Virtual Tissue Modeling Online Summer School and Hackathon

Where: Indiana University Bloomington

Semester: Summer

Role: Assistant Instructor

Offered: 2022

"Mechanistic modeling is an integral part of contemporary bioscience, used for hypothesis generation and testing, experiment design and interpretation, and the design of therapeutic interventions. The CompuCell3D modeling environment allows researchers to rapidly build and execute complex Virtual Tissue simulations with minimal programming experience. CompuCell3D enables biological simulation from the subcellular scale to the tissue scale, such as tumor growth, what happens to tissues and cells when exposed to toxic compounds, viral spread in tissues, early embryonic development, intra/extra-cellular biochemical networks, and more. CompuCell3D natively supports SBML and MaBoSS model integration. Try out some example models on NanoHub without any installation: https://compucell3d.org/Models-nanoHub."
