Teaching and Mentoring

Teaching at Princeton

As a graduate teaching assistant in fall 2023 and fall 2024, I led problem-solving sessions on differential equations and linear algebra, held office hours, and graded coursework for two engineering mathematics courses.

• MAE 501 · Mathematical Methods of Engineering Analysis I (graduate)
• MAE 305 · Mathematics in Engineering I (undergraduate)

Research mentoring

Graduate researchers and a senior thesis student

At Princeton, I mentored six junior graduate students and one undergraduate senior thesis student in modeling plasma-assisted combustion and catalysis. I helped them design studies, set up flow and density functional theory calculations, interpret their results, and prepare manuscripts.

Princeton Laboratory Learning Program

In the summers of 2025 and 2026, I mentored five high school students studying plasma-assisted nickel nitridation and tungsten oxide reduction. I introduced them to molecular dynamics with machine-learned interatomic potentials and guided them through literature review, analysis, and the preparation of research presentations and reports.
