University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

I am not teaching during Summer 2026. In Fall 2026, it seems likely that I will teach AE 498 – Advanced Review of Basic Mathematics.

In addition to my core instruction duties, I am involved in two current projects on teaching innovation. I am the Principal Investigator of the Artificially Successful? Investigating and Responding to Generative AI’s Capability to Solve Course Assignments project and a Co-Principal Investigator on the AI for Creative Computations: Leveraging AI for Computational Exploration in Engineering Education project, both funded by the University’s Strategic Instructional Innovations Program. I was the Principal Investigator for the earlier Grade-GPT: Investigating the Success of ChatGPT at Completing Course Assignments project funded by the University’s Grants for Advancement of Teaching in Engineering program, and a Co-Principal Investigator on the Computational Tools for Dynamics and Control project funded by the University’s Strategic Instructional Innovations Program.

I am always happy to receive anonymous, or signed, feedback about my teaching. I am grateful for any comments and will do my best to consider incorporating them into my classes.
