Biological Control – Teaching assistant

Course, UC Santa Barbara, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2020

This course taught dynamical systems analysis of biological systems and design of synthetic biological circuits to both graduate and undergraduate students. Main responsibilities were answering student’s questions, hosting office hours, and grading. I was also responsible for delivering two lectures on recently developed techniques for gene regulatory network reconstruction e.g. dynamic mode decomposition.

Thermosciences I, II, III – Teaching assistant

Course, UC Santa Barbara, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2017

TA’d for the three quarter-series of courses on thermodynamics and heat transfer. Main responsibilities were answering student’s questions, hosting office hours, and grading. I was also responsible for delivering two lectures, the first on thermodynamic lookup tables and how to perform single and double interpolation, and the second on radiative heat transfer analysis using view factors.
