Course Developer, Johns Hopkins University
Collaborated with the Director of Online Programs to develop a comprehensive College Algebra course aimed at preparing incoming students for success in higher-level mathematics. Designed instructional content to reinforce key algebraic concepts through accessible and engaging materials.
Course Developer, Johns Hopkins University
Developed and launched a summer course for high school students introducing the fundamentals of data analysis, probability, and statistics. Encouraged students to master affection presentation skills and collaborative work.
Produced a full suite of materials, including lecture videos, online quizzes, interactive assignments, and guided Excel tutorials, delivered to over 50 students annually.
Research with Dr. Benjamin Grimmer, Johns Hopkins University
Conducting theoretical research on composite optimization problems involving heterogeneously Hӧlder smooth and uniformly convex functions. Current work focuses on designing primal-dual algorithms with optimal convergence rates. Future directions include exploration in characterizing these dual notions, generalizing interpolation frameworks, and advancing performance estimation techniques.
Planned collaboration with Dr. Mario Michelli & Kaleigh Rudge, Johns Hopkins University
Preparing to investigate spectral properties of the Discrete Fourier Transform and its connections to signal representation and harmonic analysis. Further investigation will include advancing understanding of the Fractional Fourier Transform, smoothly interpolating between the signal and frequency domains.
