I have been afforded numerous opportunities to teach computational biophysics, in and out of the classroom. I served as teaching assistant for a number of workshops and, near the end of my tenure at the University of Illinois, led the training efforts of the Resource.

- Written materials -

I have either contributed to or written entirely a number of tutorials in the use of modeling software or case studies on specific scientific topics.
  1. Forcing Substrates Through Channels
  2. A Tutorial on Alchemical Free Energy Perturbation Calculations in NAMD
  3. A Tutorial on Adaptive Biasing Force Calculations in NAMD
  4. Ubiquitin
  5. Light Harvesting Complex 2

- Workshops (post Urbana) -

  1. CMC Membrane Protein Modeling Workshop. University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, May 2012.

    This was a one-day workshop focused on membrane proteins as part of a larger conference, Frontiers in Membrane Protein Dynamics.

  2. Computational Modeling of Biological Systems. Center for High-Performance Computing, Cape Town, South Africa, Jul. 2011.

    I developed and executed this workshop in collaboration with Leonardo Trabuco (Univ. of Heidelberg) along with Jean Watermeyer and Trevor Sewell (Univ. of Cape Town).

- Workshops (Training grant) -

During this period, I was personally funded by a supplemental training grant from NIH for developing training materials and assisting with workshops.
  1. Computational Biophysics Workshop. University of Illinois, Urbana, IL, Dec. 2010.
  2. Computational Biophysics Workshop. University of Illinois, Urbana, IL, Nov. 2010.
  3. Computational Biophysics Workshop. Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA, July 2010.
  4. Computational Biophysics Workshop. Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, Pittsburgh, PA, May 2010.

  4. Computational Biophysics Workshop. University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, Nov. 2006.
  5. Computational Biophysics Workshop. Max Planck Institute, Frankfurt, Germany, Mar. 2006.
  6. Computational Biophysics Workshop. Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, Pittsburgh, PA, Nov. 2005.
  7. Computational Biophysics Workshop. Lake Tahoe, CA, May 2005.
  8. Computational Biophysics Workshop. Boston, MA, Dec. 2004.

- Courses (Graduate school) -

  1. Physics 550, Molecular Biophysics. Spring, 2006, 2008, 2009.
    A course on biophysics for graduate students in physics. I was a teaching assistant which involved communicating with students, preparing solutions, and grading homeworks.
  2. Physics 598NSM, Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics, Fall 2007.
    A graduate-level course for which I managed the class, prepared homework solutions, graded assignments, and interacted with students.
  3. Physics 212 (Electricity and Magnetism, Fall 2003) An introductory calculus-based EM course for those in engineering and science. I led four discussion sections of approximately 20-25 students each.
