Teaching

• The University of Freiburg, I have taught short courses in Large Cardinals in Set Theory (notes), Models of Peano Arithmetic, and Descriptive Set Theory (notes), and Applications of Set Theory (notes). I have also tutored student seminars in Ramsey Theory, Knot Theory, Cryptography, Representation Theory, Algebraic Topology, and Differential Topology.
• At the University of Illinois at Chicago, I taught a number of courses including: Intermediate Algebra, Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, Calculus for Business, and Elementary Linear Algebra.
• The website for my Winter 2024-2025 course, Set Theory and Independence Proofs, can be found here.
