Since Fall 2022, I have served at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) as a teaching assistant (TA) for a number of undergraduate mathematics course. As a TA, I am responsible for leading two discussion sections for one or two courses each seven-week term, holding office hours, promptly and accurately grading homework and quiz submissions, and further assisting students at WPI’s Math Tutoring Center.
I believe that mathematics does not have to be a mysterious, formidable subject. To paraphrase an old textbook of mine: Math is not difficult so much as it is different, and it takes time for things that are different to become familiar. In the discussions I lead, the feedback I give on assignments, and the tutoring I provide in office hours and the Math Tutoring Center, I try to explain where concepts are coming from and demonstrate why they work in order that the math be seen as accessible rather than esoteric.
In Spring 2026, I will serve as teaching assistant/grader for two upper undergraduate courses: Introduction to Design and Analysis of Experiments (Prof. Carly Thorp) and Topics in Mathematics: Introduction to Stochastic Processes (Prof. Gu Wang).
