Undergraduate courses
NEURO101CC Comparative neuroscience and brain circuits across species – Instructor (Fall 2025, new course)
I proposed, designed, and will teach this advanced tutorial course focused on how we bring together findings across animal species and model systems to improve our understanding of the brain. Students will engage with scientific literature to learn how different species are well-suited to learning about specific functions of the brain, and how inter-species comparison can be used to discover shared modules. We will ask how neuroscience can leverage animal diversity to learn core principles about the brain, and we will examine specific examples of generalized and specialized neural mechanisms.
MCB/NEURO145 Neurobiology of Perception and Decision-Making – Teaching Assistant (Fall 2022, Fall 2024)
I was a teaching assistant for this upper-level seminar course on the neural circuits underlying perceptual and behavior. This course spanned topics ranging from early visual processing, to reward processing, to motor control and dynamical systems. I led discussion sessions, had one-on-one tutorial meetings with students, and graded written work and presentations.
Advanced courses
Transylvanian Experimental Neuroscience Summer School
I have been a teaching assistant at the Transylvanian Experimental Neuroscience Summer School (TENSS) in Pike Lake, Romania, since 2022. This course provides a small group of graduate students and postdocs each year with hands-on intensive training in optical, behavioral, and electrophysiological techniques in neuroscience.
