• Course Design Assistant

  • Jan 2016 - Jul 2016

  Collaborated on re-designing Dartmouth's introductory freshman physics curriculum into an active learning style course. Led literature review on research in scientific education and incorporated the results of previous studies into the new curriculum. Designed lectures, group activities, homework assignments, collaborative student projects. In addition, served as an on-call department-wide lecturer, grader, tutor, and proctor.

  Built and optimized a computational pipeline in Python to use experimental radar observations to reconstruct physical features of the Northern Lights. Applied regularization algorithm to advanced modular incoherent scatter radar data to infer vector electric fields from measured line of sight electron velocities. Presented results at the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco.
