About Me

I'm a 4th year PhD student at Harvard. I'm a research scientist with a focus on experimental biophysics, and I study the physics of how viruses assemble and how RNA folds. My background is in physics and chemistry, but I have a passion for all science, and I consider myself an interdisciplinarian. I love to teach! I hope to pursue a career at the interface between cutting-edge research in physics and biotech or teaching at a college or university.

Experience

During college I was an undergraduate Teaching Assistant for intro college physics classes, where I ran discussion sections, created practice problems, and occasionally presented review lectures. I was also a private tutor for physics, calculus, general and organic chemistry, and higher-level math subjects. In grad school, I served as a Teaching Fellow for intro physics, where I received a teaching award.

Approach

The subjects I enjoy teaching the most are the ones that are dreaded by many students as being some of the most difficult; my main goal in teaching is to convey and share the love and passion I have for these subjects. I do so by trying to make the learning process a customized and intuitive one for each student, tailoring every lesson to individual strengths, weaknesses, and personal experience.
