Teaching
I find teaching one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. Most of my past teaching experience is in mathematical biology and statistics, topics that I really enjoy teaching because they are beautiful in their own right and also serve themselves well to help students develop the ability to think critically, rigorously, and quantitatively.
Past teaching experience (Princeton)
At Princeton (2018-), I was an assistant in instruction for four undergraduate courses in the Ecology & Evolutionary Biology department:
- 2021: EEB325, Mathematical Modeling in Biology and Medicine
- 2020: EEB325, Mathematical Modeling in Biology and Medicine
- 2019: EEB380, Ecology and Conservation of African Landscapes
- 2018: EEB311, Animal Behavior
In 2022, I was recognized with a Graduate Teaching Award for my teaching at Princeton.
From 2022, I also served as Graduate Teaching Fellow, a role which involves training first-time graduate assistants in instruction.
In 2022, I co-taught a community-level course in human biology to incarcerated students through the Prison Teaching Initiative.
Past teaching experience (Utrecht)
At Utrecht (2011-2018), I was a teaching assistant for various undergraduate courses in the mathematics and biology departments:
- 2017: Introduction to geometry
- 2016: Group theory
- 2016: Mathematical statistics
- 2015: Measure and integration
- 2014: Experiment and statistics
- 2014: Mathematical statistics
- 2013: Applied biostatistics
- 2013: Systems biology
Other teaching
From 2012-2019, I was a coach in the Dutch Mathematical Olympiad program.
