I am committed to educating and supervising students and junior researchers, and promoting diversity in STEM fields. I have extensive teaching experiences and my teaching evaluations have been very strong (available upon request).

At the Penn State College of Medicine, I am regularly teaching two courses,

1) Data Mining with Applications to Genomic Data and
2) Deep Learning with Applications to Omics and Health Informatics

Current Teaching
Fall 2022: PHS 597 – Data Mining with Applications to genomic data
