Tech to Teaching Certificate
I received Tech to Teaching Certificate in 2018, a program designed to prepare Georgia Tech graduate students for teaching positions. Through this certificate program, participants will develop a thorough understanding of the scholarship of teaching and learning, and will demonstrate ability to apply these skills in the classroom.
This certificate program is designed around two sets of learning outcomes. The foundation level captures what participants will learn about college teaching, which can be satisfied through a combination of Center for Teaching and Learning classes, workshops, and affiliated resources. In the capstone level, participants will practice and evaluate teaching skills through a substantial teaching experience.

Graduate Teaching Fellow
As a Graduate Teaching Fellow, I work with faculty in the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) in support of TA and future faculty programs. As a graduate student ambassador for CTL, I support and extend CTL’s reach into various academic units. Specifically, my work inlcudes the following three aspects:
- Conduct classroom observation and individual consultation with TAs and other graduate students/postdoc instructors by visiting their class sessions and customizing feedback to provide them with greater insight into teaching.
- Facilitate TA Orientation and workshops on teaching.
- Develop an individual project that advances graduate student teaching development.

Course Description
This course is an introduction to mathematical tools commonly used in advanced economic theory and econometrics. This course aims to equip students with mathematical methods to study economics courses, including the application of mathematical tools to economic analysis. Topics include static analysis, comparative-static analysis, optimization, and dynamic analysis.
Learning goals inlcude:
- Know mathematical tools for essential economic analyses, including differentiation, derivatives, and optimization.
- Identify different mathematical models and apply them to solve economic problems, such as static analysis, comparative-static analysis, and dynamic analysis.
- Develop tools and techniques, including the use of numerical computations, and empirical analysis, to understand the logic, validity and robustness of various economic ideas.
