Hey! 👋 I’m a member of the teaching faculty in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. I am affiliated with MIDAS, serve on the undergraduate computer science and data science program committees, and am one of the hosts of Faculty Chats (come say hi!).
Previously, I taught in the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute at the University of California, San Diego, where I received the campus-wide Distinguished Teaching Award in 2024. I earned BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, and I’m originally from Windsor, Ontario 🇨🇦.

Teaching
!What matters most in a college education, in my view, is access to people—mentorship, guidance, and community—rather than course content, which I believe ought to be freely available. To that end, I publish materials for every class I’ve taught as instructor or TA. Each site typically includes lecture slides, recordings, and assignments. Instructors who want to use or adapt these materials (e.g., for autograded Jupyter Notebooks) are welcome to reach out.
In addition, you might find my EECS 245 notes and YouTube videos useful.
