I am a junior at Harvard University conducting neuroscience and biophysics research over the summer. I have taken advanced classes in mathematics, neuroscience, physics, and computer science including Math 55 a/b in my first year. My physics education includes two semesters of quantum mechanics, and advanced electrodynamics and classical mechanics. My computer science education consists of systems programming and data structures & algorithms, both taken in my second year at Harvard. I have also taken upper level classes in statistics (stochastic processes) and engineering (graduate level fluid dynamics) and have maintained a 4.0 gpa. I scored a 36 on the ACT in high school.

My tutoring experience includes computer science tutoring for younger students in high school and one on one physics tutoring in college, mostly for the MCAT. I have also worked as a course assistant for introductory quantum mechanics and held office hours and graded tests. The class was as pretty evenly split between all years of college students. I’ve always loved teaching in general and try to always help my friends out with their work, no matter the level. In my free time, I like to learn about art history, play music (piano, cello, guitar), and rock climb.

Approved Subjects

Computer Science

Computer Science

I have been coding for around 11 years and have been doing computational research for around 6 years, including data analysis for the large hadron collider at CERN where I had to use C++, python, and ROOT. I currently do computational neuroscience and biophysics which requires knowledge of machine learning and advanced image analysis. I have taken systems programming and data structures & algorithms.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I've gotten A's in Math 55 a (Algebra and Group Theory) and Math 55b (Real and Complex Analysis) as well as Compsci 1240 (Data structures in Algorithms) and Applied Math 226 (Theory of Neural Computation), all upper level courses that touch on discrete math and graph theory.
Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics

I've taken two semesters of quantum mechanics and gone through all of Griffiths. I worked as a teaching assistant for the introductory undergraduate quantum mechanics course at Harvard, holding office hours and grading tests.
