Teaching

Throughout the course of my PhD I’ve had opportunities to TA and guest lecture in a number of courses. A full list of my TA and guest lecturing experience can be found on my CV.

Most notably, I collaborated with Walter Scheirer and Megan Levis Scheirer on the redesign of CSE 40175: Ethical & Professional Issues for the 2025-2026 academic year. I worked with Professor Scheirer and Professor Levis Scheirer to determine the lecture topics for the entire semester, and then for each lecture determine its learning goals and readings. I also collaborated on the requirements for the course’s four group projects and the rubric for the course’s eleven writing reflections. A key component of determining the group project requirements and writing reflection rubrics was “LLM-proofing.” We assigned group projects that cannot be done with AI (for example, making a Zine with paper, markers, and glue). The writing reflection rubrics were designed such that LLM-generated responses would receive at best a C.

I have TAed both CSE 40175: Ethical & Professional Issues and CSE 40535: Computer Vision. For both of these courses, in addition to grading, I guest lectured multiple sessions. The topics of these lecture spanned from Heidegger’s The Question Concerning Technology (in Ethical & Professional Issues) to hand-crafted feature descriptor algorithms (in Computer Vision).
