Teaching and Mentorship

My teaching experience includes lectures and hands-on tutorials in physics, neuroscience, biophysics, and dynamical systems at both undergraduate and graduate levels. I have mentored several MD PhD students, master students, and postdocs over the years.

🎓 Teaching Experience

I have taught a variety of subjects ranging from classical physics to auditory neuroscience. My teaching roles have included both lecturing and assisting students in tutorials and labs.

• Bifurcation Analysis and Dynamical Systems
  Guest lecture for graduate students at The Rockefeller University – 2023
  Covered nonlinear dynamics and the concept of Hopf bifurcations in biological systems.
  

• Biophysics of Hearing
  Lecture series for PhD and MSc students at UCL Ear Institute – 2016–2017
  Designed and delivered course material on the mechanics and sensory biology of hearing.
  

• Introduction to Auditory Neuroscience (for medical students)
  Lecture series at Imperial College London – 2016–2017
  Taught basic neurophysiology and the structure and function of the auditory system.
  

• Introduction to Auditory Neuroscience
  Teaching Assistant, Imperial College London – 2015–2017
  Assisted with tutorials and practicals, helping students grasp complex biological and physical mechanisms.
  

• Classical Mechanics
  Teaching Assistant, Imperial College London – 2015–2017
  Supported students in tutorials and problem-solving sessions for undergraduate physics.
  

• Introduction to Quantum Mechanics
  Teaching Assistant, Imperial College London – 2014–2016
  Helped students understand quantum concepts through hands-on exercises and explanations.
  

🧑‍🏫 Mentorship

I have closely mentored:

• 4 Master’s students
• 6 PhD students
• 3 Postdoctoral researcher

Mentoring took place at Imperial College London and The Rockefeller University. I guided students through their research projects, provided technical and theoretical support, and helped them develop scientific writing and presentation skills.

🏫 Volunteering

I have mentored students through the Clinical Leadership Fellowship New York in collaboration with Weill Cornell University. This initiative aims to introduce students from disadvantaged backgrounds within the New York area to scientific research by pairing high-school students with scientists in New York universities. During the summer months, I taught them Python programming, focusing on models of hair-cell mechanotransduction with the goal to provide them valuable technical skills that are transferable to various industries, including technology, and data analysis.
