Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.

I enjoy teaching. Additionally, it helps me get better in so many ways — getting better at communicating my ideas, for instance. (Communication is important for researchers.) I plan on teaching underprivileged kids when I am about to retire, fingers crossed! That is one thing that I know I want to do in my life.
I have a year of experience as a teaching assistant for the Engineering Probability and Statistics course in the Mechanical Engineering department at UT Austin. I have got some constructive feedback, both official and unofficial, which I will upload here in the near future. I am also a certified engineering teaching assistant.
I have also been a teaching assistant for two graduate courses — Linear Programming, and Linear/Integer Programming; these are offered in the Operations Research and Industrial Engineering program at UT.
I have been a teaching assistant in the astronomy department since spring 2018: I was a teaching assistant for Birth of Stars and Planets, taught by Keely Finkelstein in spring 2018; for Intro to Astronomy with Keely (Finkelstein) in fall 2018, spring 2019 and spring 2021; for Intro to Astronomy with Steve Finkelstein in fall 2019; and for Intro to Astronomy with Keith Hawkins, and currently for Elements of Statistics with Layla Guyot.
My graduate studies at UT has been enriched with some great teachers — Steve Boyles, John Hasenbein, Tom Sager and Chandra Bhat. If you are at UT, then I would definitely recommend you to take a course, with at least one of them! :)
