My Teaching Experience

At Swarthmore College:

• General Physics I: Mechanics (Phys 3) (Fall 2025)—Kinematics, Newton's laws, energy, momentum, rotational motion, simple harmonic motion, and topics in gravitation, fluids, and thermodynamics. Emphasis quantitative problem-solving.
• General Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism (Phys 4) (Spring 2026)—Electric and magnetic forces and fields, potential and potential energy, circuits (involving batteries, resistors, capacitors, and inductors), Gauss's Law, Ampere's Law, Faraday's Law, waves, light, and optics. Emphasis on combining conceptual and mathematical understanding.
• Quantum Mechanics (Phys 107) (Fall 2025)—Fundamental/Axiomatic quantum behaviors, two-state systems and time-dependent behaviors, entanglement and Bell's inequalities, wavefunctions and continuous operators, square wells, bound and scattering states, the quantum harmonic oscillator, and hydrogen. Emphasis on computational skills and on understanding the structure of QM as a theory.

At the University of Maryland (as a graduate student):

• The Quantum Wave (Phys 137) (Spring 2024)—A discussion of the potential impacts of quantum technology on society. Part of UMD's Big Questions series, aimed at non-STEM majors. Co-developed and co-instructed with Erin Sohr.
• Graduate TA for Modern Physics (Phys 371).
• Grader for graduate AMO seminar (Phys 721).
• Individual tutor for quantum mechanics (Phys 401) and graduate NMR methods (Biochem 669E).
