Teaching
I am deeply committed to mentoring and teaching across all academic levels — from high school students to advanced graduate courses. I am particularly passionate about supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds and helping them navigate academic pathways in physics, mathematics, and cosmology.
Mentoring & Research Supervision
Advisor / Mentor — Mentoring Flatiron Intern (Aug. 2024 – Present)
USA & Online
I supervise undergraduate student Ezra Msolla from an underrepresented background with interests in cosmology. In our joint work, we derived analytical expressions for tensor power spectra in curved inflating universes, developing model-independent templates that isolate curvature effects.

Online (volunteering and paid work)
I have supervised 9 students’ individual research projects on topics including cosmology and Hawking radiation. Many of these students have gone on to be admitted to prestigious universities such as Harvard and Stanford.
