Teaching 🎓

Teaching approach

I aim to make technical and theoretical ideas accessible without oversimplifying them. I connect computing concepts with their social consequences and give students room to build confidence through discussion, experimentation, reflection, and iterative work.

Students should leave my courses better able to understand how technologies work, ask responsible questions about their effects, and apply that thinking in practical contexts.

Teaching experience

Current State and Future of Generative AI

Instructor

University of Notre Dame
ESTM 60244

I designed and developed this core course for Notre Dame's ESTEEM master's program in Engineering, Science and Technology Entrepreneurship, which combines technical and business education with a year-long technology-commercialization capstone. The course examines how generative AI systems work, their current capabilities and limitations, practical tools for entrepreneurial and product contexts, emerging trends, and the ethical and legal questions that accompany their use.
