My teaching experience

These are listed starting with the most recent items and working backwards.

I am currently teaching computer science full-time at Caltech. I am one of the instructors for the CS 11 course (Software Shop), which is a new course dedicated to improving the programming skills of Caltech students and researchers. I am also the principal lecturer for the CS 1 course (Introduction to Computation).

I was the teaching assistant for the Methods in Computational Cellular and Molecular Biology course (Bi/CNS 169) given by Hamid Bolouri and James M. Bower in Winter term 1998 at Caltech. This was a combined seminar/lab course involving a variety of approaches to simulating biology at the cellular and molecular level. I was mainly responsible for helping students complete their simulation projects.

I was an instructor at a short course offered by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center on parallel simulation techniques in computational neuroscience (June 11-14th, 1997). I gave lectures on GENESIS and on optimization methods for neural models.

I was a teaching assistant at the Methods in Computational Neuroscience course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass. during the month of August for the years 1994-1996. I instructed students on how to use the neural simulator GENESIS, gave a couple of lectures, and helped them complete simulation projects.
