Teaching

Teaching Computing Through Practice

My teaching connects core computing concepts with practical implementation and project-based learning. Across university courses and graduate AI and machine-learning training, I emphasize problem formulation, hands-on work, and clear technical communication.

Mentoring & Course Development

Student Project Mentoring

Guidance for undergraduate major and minor projects, from framing a problem through implementation and technical documentation. In the NSF-funded training program, I mentored interdisciplinary teams on project work and research presentations.

Practical, Project-Based Learning

I develop course materials and assessments that pair core concepts with applied examples, structured practice, and project work.
