I believe that foundational understanding of optimization and the nuanced challenges of reliable, robust and trustworthy AI are crucial to preparing the next generation of leaders and scientists. I have developed new courses, enhanced existing ones, and tailored the delivery of key concepts depending on the audience – graduate students, undergraduates, K-12 school students, lawyers and policy professionals. In the past, I have received two teaching honors namely Student Recognition of Excellence in Teaching: Class of 1934 CIOS Honor Roll in 2020 and in 2021 at Georgia Tech. At MIT, I teach courses broadly in OR and statistics, e.g., on optimization and data analytics. I was also a part of the cross-disciplinary SERC faculty action group at MIT from 2023-2024, tasked with designing new educational material that creates a dialogue on social and ethical responsibilities of computing.

Here’s the list of courses I have taught recently:
