As an advocate for sharing knowledge and experience with the next generation of scientists and young professionals, I am always excited to participate in talks, seminars, workshops, or lectures on scientific and non-scientific (career-related) topics. I have compiled a teaching portfolio that provides an overview of my teaching experience, a selection of lecture and workshop topics that I am eager to teach, and my teaching statement. Please refer to this document for more information.
