I am a PhD candidate in Bioengineering at Harvard University, where I am researching new cures for cancers that utilize rare cell types of the immune system to kill tumors. Previously, I completed my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley with majors in Molecular and Cell Biology and Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I completed a Masters degree in Biomedical Informatics at Stanford University before beginning my PhD. I also worked professionally as a software engineer in the biotechnology industry for about three years.
I have been tutoring and teaching in different capacities for over ten years, from SAT test prep tutoring to teaching undergraduate courses at Harvard. My philosophy of teaching is to spark interest in topics at hand by starting with why: why is this concept important for our understanding of the world? Why is mastering this concept essential for the career I want to pursue? Having seen many meaningful applications of math and science to real-world problems in my own research, I enjoy motivating technical lessons with connections to the real world.
I am comfortable tutoring in topics across biology (including biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and computational biology), statistics, computer science (especially data science in Python), and SAT/GRE test prep. I can also tutor in topics including math, chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering at the high school and college level, depending on content specifics.
