Outside Research

Since learning about inquiry based and active learning, I have always asked how can I improve my teaching and inspire the students to take charge of their learning journey? Outside the teaching assistant assignments, I've found my involvement with NE-COMMIT and past involvement with the Brandeis Educational Justice Initiative and Upward Bound to be immensely helpful in my growth as a mentor and educator.

Science and Science Fiction (2022)


Summary of the Course Description:


Have you ever read a story and wondered if it could be real life? Or read a story and imagined yourself as a character in its fictional world? Remember when you were a child experiencing many firsts, and asking why, or how? Works of fiction have a magic of revitalizing the reader’s curiosity and imagination. Science fiction, particularly, gets the readers excited about understanding how the world works and imagining their place in it. In this course, we use science fiction stories to build a fresh relationship with math and science and feel empowered to stay curious and ask questions. We attempt to answer some of the scientific questions by a powerful tool: mathematical modeling. As we embark on this journey, we learn how to become better friends with our computers by learning a little about their language. By the end of the course, MATLAB might become your favorite smart pocket calculator.
