Summer 2017


I was a teaching assistant
for Summer@ICERM 2017 on
Topological Data Analysis.
- Summer@ICERM 2017 was an 8-week program that brought together undergraduate students across the United States and from around the world to learn about Topological Data Analysis (TDA).
- The first four weeks of this program consisted of intensive course work on various topics in TDA such as simplicial homology, persistent homology, computational topology, metric geometry and stability, and time series analysis. During this time I offered a bootcamp on persistent homology. Some of my notes are available here.
- In the last four weeks of the program the students worked in small groups (2-4 students per group) on open research questions in TDA and related fields. During this time I worked closely with 3 undergraduates, Erin Bugbee, Claire Savard and Jonathan Weisskoff, and the head faculty advisor Katherine Kinnaird (pictured top left) on a project that involved using methodes from topological data analysis to address music-based tasks.

Pedagogy Training
The Sheridan Reflective Teaching Seminar
Brown University 2016-2017
Developed
and
refined
fundamental
teaching
and
assessment
strategies and
communication skills
based on how students
learn. Completed a
teaching
observation
to
refelct
on
my
teaching
and
met
with
teaching
consultants
to
strategize
ways
to
achieve
teaching
goals.
The Sheridan Teaching Consultant Program
Brown University 2017-2018
Developed
and
refined
skills
in peer
observation
and feedback,
leadership, and
discussion facilitation.
Completed eight teaching
observations across
disciplines and met with
teachers to discuss
their teaching goals.
Created a
teaching portfolio.
The Sheridan Course Design Seminar
Brown University 2017-2018
Explored
integrated
course
design
principles
and
developed
syllabi,
assignments,
and
activities.
Learned
methods
for
inclusive
teaching,
engaged
student
learning,
backward
course
design,
signature
