Teaching Experience

I was a teaching assistant for UC Berkeley’s data structures course (three semesters), algorithms course (one semester), and synthetic biology course (one semester). I also lectured for the linear algebra section and the probability section for Columbia University’s Math Tools for Neuroscience course (two semesters).

Here are examples of notes and practice problems I created for students:

• Git
• Java Intro
• Java: Static and Dynamic Typing
• Asymptotic Analysis
• Midterm 1 Review: [Worksheet] [Solutions]
• HashCodes and HashMaps
• Binary Search Trees
• Balanced Search Trees
• Midterm 2 Review: [Worksheet] [Solutions]
• Graphs
• Graph Algorithms
• Sorting Algorithms
• Disjoint Sets and Minimum Spanning Tree Algorithms
• Finals Review: [Worksheet] [Solutions]

Writing Experience

I wrote a profile article for Scientist on the Subway, one of Columbia neuroscience’s outreach efforts that tells the diverse stories of scientists in the field.

I also wrote a short environmental awareness article (“Joshua Tree”) for Words of the Watershed journal, a student-run journal at UC Berkeley.
