teaching

While academia widely celebrates and incentivizes excellence in research, I believe that excellence in teaching is equally important. Scientific progress to a large extent rests upon our ability to pass our knowledge and enthusiasm to students. 

I also believe that academics and educators have an unparalleled opportunity to make a broader societal impact through education: it is our responsibility to broaden the perspectives of the future generations of professionals, decision-makers, and business leaders, to equip them with the ability to think critically and holistically, and to help them developing an open and socially sensitive mindset.

To facilitate students' progress, I offer them one-on-one consultation and guidance, and provide detailed and critical feedback on their projects and assignments. Students I am working with represent various fields and levels of training: undergraduates, master's students, graduate students, and MBA students, coming from economics, psychology, public policy, business, and even computer science and history programs.

I am actively involved in designing and improving curricula, and I have held numerous guest lectures in various topics, including basics of statistical inference, microeconomics and utility theory, experimental research methods, education policy, and environmental policy.

While at Carnegie Mellon University, I have been awarded the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences’ Graduate Student Teaching Award.
