Teaching experience
I was involved in teaching for six semesters as a graduate student at MIT, being the teaching assistant to a total of seven classes:
- 18.435 Quantum Computation, Fall 2003, Prof. Peter Shor
- 18.336 Numerical Methods of Applied Mathematics II, Spring 2004, Dr. Plamen Koev
- 18.366 Random Walks and Diffusion, Spring 2005, Prof. Martin Bazant
- 18.311 Principles of Applied Mathematics, Spring 2005, Prof. Martin Bazant
- 18.337 Applied Parallel Computation, Spring 2006, Prof. Alan Edelman
- 18.366 Random Walks and Diffusion, Fall 2006, Prof. Martin Bazant
- 18.311 Principles of Applied Mathematics, Spring 2007, Prof. Martin Bazant
Course 18.311 is at the undergraduate level, while the rest are at the graduate level.
