Teaching Portfolio
“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.”
― Terry Pratchett, Diggers
Teaching Fellow Positions at Yale
During the course of my Ph.D. I served as a Teaching Fellow (TF) for eight courses in total:
- PHYS165 - General Physics Laboratory I
- PHYS170 - University Physics for the Life Sciences I
- PHYS442 - Introduction to Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics
- PHYS410 - Classical Mechanics
- PHYS165 - General Physics Laboratory II
- PHYS171 - University Physics for the Life Sciences II
- ASTR343 - Gravity, Astrophysics, and Cosmology
- PHYS/ASTR600 - Cosmology
Certificate of College Teaching Preparation
I am currently on track to complete my Certificate of College Teaching Preparation (CCTP) at the Yale Center for Teaching and Learning by graduation. Earning the CCTP also meets requirements for the nationally recognized Center for Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) Associate. The requirements I still need to fulfill include writing my teaching statement and collating my teaching portfolio, which I will eventually link on this website.
Curriculum Development
I also co-developed and co-taught a week-long classical mechanics course for the Yale Physics Fundamentals Bootcamp for incoming graduate students, which I have delivered three times (in person, virtually, and hybrid) to excellent reviews.
Teaching Awards
In November 2021, I became an inaugural awardee of the Leigh Page Award for Excellence in Graduate Student Teaching from the Physics Department at Yale.
