Teaching

I enjoy teaching a wide range of subjects in applied mathematics and am passionate about explaining mathematical concepts in clear and accessible language to people without a mathematical background, especially young audiences.

Part C Revision Class, Tutor, Mathematical Institute, 2023-24

Tutored 4th-year master’s students in exam preparation, including office hour sessions and mock exam reviews. Taught revision classes and provided feedback on exam papers (class size: 10-12). 12 contact hours.

C6.1 Numerical Linear Algebra, Tutor and Teaching Assistant, Mathematical Institute, 2022-24

Taught Part C and MSc students; marked problem sheets and provided feedback; coordinated tutorials and delivered revision classes. Also contributed to Part C examination marking in Numerical Linear Algebra and Continuous Optimization.

Student Supervision and Admissions

Co-supervised three master’s dissertation projects with Prof. Coralia Cartis: a Part C project in 2024-25 and two MMSC projects in 2026. The Part C computational optimization project developed into a research paper with the student as first author.

Currently supervising a Part B undergraduate and co-supervising a student project with Prof. Jared Tanner on graph neural networks and rank collapse. Mentored K. Li from a first research project to first authorship of SoS1.

Assisted with Oxford undergraduate admissions interviews with Prof. Patrick Farrell at Oriel College during my D.Phil.

Public Teaching and Outreach Activities

Mathematics Columnist, Creative Writer, and Social Media Influencer (2014–2024)

• Regularly produced articles and educational content aimed at demystifying complex mathematical concepts for those without a background in mathematics, inspiring curiosity and engagement.

• Created content with millions of reads, highlighting the beauty and real-world applications of mathematics, while encouraging underrepresented groups, particularly women in STEM fields.

Public Lecturer and Founder of Mathematical Community (2021–2024)

• Organized annual public mathematics courses for children (ages 8-13) and underrepresented groups (group sizes: 30-200).

• Developing a 30-session course introducing mathematical concepts to individuals without prior mathematical backgrounds, making complex topics accessible.
