Teaching Experience
I gained valuable experience as both an instructor and teaching assistant (TA) during my PhD at CMU. I taught the undergraduate Statistical Graphics and Visualization course (36-315) in Summer 2025. I TAed for 11 semesters (listed below), and I was awarded an Outstanding PhD TA Award for the 2024-5 academic year. I also privately tutored a fellow Statistics PhD student in 2021.
I consider teaching opportunities very important: they force me to learn material I might otherwise skip over and reveal gaps in my own knowledge I didn’t even know existed—the creativity with which students craft questions never ceases to surprise me. Moreover, I built valuable communication skills by working with students whose background ranged from high school to PhD level.
