Teaching and Training

Semester-length Courses

While teaching is not a regular duty in my current job, I did help Dr. Lizette Zietsman reorganize the Math Department’s freshman curriculum and develop the Math in a Computational Context series (now Math 2405H and 2406H) for advanced undergraduates in Spring/Summer 2011. I have also guest lectured for a number of semester length courses:

  • Computer Science Foundations for Computational Modeling and Data Analytics (CMDA 3634)
  • Advanced Statistical Computing (STAT 6984)
  • Computing Skills for CMDA (CMDA 1984)
  • Math in a Computational Context (Math 2405)
  • Finite Elements and GPU Computing (MATH 5414)
  • Programming for Geospatial Research (GEOG 4984)
  • Industrial Systems Engineering Graduate Seminar (ISE 5024)
  • Topics in Applied Mathematics: Finite Elements & GPU Computing (MATH 5414)
  • Physics Department First Year Experience (PHYS 2326)
  • Programming and Mathematical Problem Solving (Math 3054)
  • Integrated Science Lab (COS 2984)
  • Remote Sensing Interdisciplinary Graduate Eduation Program (IGEP)
  • Metagenomics Workshop
  • Dynamics of Water and Societal Systems Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
  • SIAM Student Seminar
  • INFORMS (ISE Student Group) Graduate Seminar

Web Tutorials

I put together the following series of video tutorials for getting started with ARC resources (unfortunately, accessing these requires a Virginia Tech login):
