Teaching

During my time as a PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin, I designed and taught the course “Statistical Learning and Inference” to a class of about 50 upper-level undergraduate students twice (Fall 2019 and Fall 2020). The course introduced students to ideas of statistical learning and predictive modeling from a statistical, theoretical and computational perspective. All course materials are publicly available here.
