Teaching & talks
Since arriving at Purdue, I have treated teaching as incremental, hands-on practice: building intuition, measuring uncertainty, fitting data, and helping students see physics as something they can do.
Graduate teaching assistant for Modern Mechanics and Modern Physics laboratories. Ran weekly sessions, wrote grading rubrics, and guided more than a hundred undergraduates through mechanics, optics, measurement, and uncertainty analysis.
Delivered an eight-lecture AMO physics mini-course for University of Mumbai M.Sc. students in summer 2023, combining syllabus-aligned foundations with current optical tweezer examples.
Mentored undergraduates and visiting interns in the Hood Lab on PID loop tuning, optical alignment, simple instrumentation, and AMO lab practice.
Recorded talks
Talk covering cesium quadrupole results and clock-related context.
Talk on high-survival lithium single-atom imaging and cooling.
Introductory AMO lectures for students — foundations with current optical tweezer examples. First lecture in Hindi, later lectures in English.
