  • 21st Century Physics & Astronomy

  • In the academic year 2015/16, I assisted in producing and implementing a new set of outdoor astronomy labs for 21st Century Physics & Astronomy, a physics class for non-science majors. This was very successful, and these labs are also being run in 2016/17.

    The labs demonstrate the possibility of performing basic astronomy in a city setting. I presented an overview of the labs and their organization to the Colorado Science Conference for Professional Development, a pedagogical conference for Colorado science teachers.

    In 2017/18, I continued to work with lab preparation for undergraduates. I produced a telescope observing lab designed to introduce students to using a partially-automated telescope to observe objects from the Physics building rooftop balcony.

  • Python

  • Scientific computing is an increasingly vital skill for grad students to master, and a very widely applicable skill in industry. Myself and another grad student, both proficient in Python, put together a series of talks and workshops for fellow grad students to help them with scientific computing and its implementation in Python.

    These talks are continuing into academic year 2016/17 for a new cohort of grad students.
