Teaching & Mentoring Experience
In high school, I tutored other high school students in math (~2 hrs/week for 1 year). As a senior in college, I mentored two freshman undergraduates in my research lab (~10hrs/week for 1 year). In graduate school, I mentor 5 undergraduate and masters students in the lab (~15 hrs/week, 4 years). I taught a summer course for high school students at Brown University (~25 hrs/week, two summers).
