Teaching

My approach to teaching is shaped by helping students see how equations, data, and models are used to describe real physical systems in Earth and Planetary Sciences, often through project-based work that lets students explore these ideas in practice.

Because the field is inherently interdisciplinary, students come in with different levels of quantitative preparation. I see this heterogeneity as a strength, especially in project-driven settings where students learn from each other’s approaches. I focus on building shared foundations while supporting those who are newer to tools such as statistics or numerical modeling, so everyone can engage more comfortably with unfamiliar problems, both in and beyond the classroom.
