Teaching
At Wake Forest University
- Bayesian Analysis (Graduate - Spring 2026)
An introduction to Bayesian statistics with an emphasis on probabilistic programming, computational implementation, and applied problem solving. Course begins with a quick introduction to Bayesian thinking theoretically and proceeds to introduce Stan and Pyro with a series of modeling examples. The course concludes with month-long applied projects of the students' choosing.
- Probability (Undergraduate and Graduate - Fall 2025/Spring 2026)
Introduction to probability theory requiring only calculus as a prerequisite. Covers fundamental concepts including counting of outcomes, the arithmetic of random events, the concepts of random variables and distributions, and methods of transforming random variables.
- Elementary Probability and Statistics (Undergraduate - Fall 2024/Spring 2025)
Undergraduate introductory statistics, covering statistical summary and visualization, elementary probability, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests. Includes a weekly lab where students learn the fundamentals of programming in R.
At Columbia University
As Instructor:- Introduction to Statistical Reasoning (Undergraduate - Fall 2022)
An undergraduate introductory statistics class which assumes no mathematical background and emphasizes concepts over formulas and calculations.
- Explorations in Data Science (High School - Spring 2020 to Present)
Taught through the Sciences Honors Program, which offers college-level topics courses on the weekends for talented high school students. Through this program, I have given lectures on topics including regression modeling, Bayesian statistics, and the replication crisis.
