NEWS! In Winter 2013 Emo Todorov and I are giving an unofficial capstone course (490R) where we will supervise software projects related to the DARPA Robotics Challenge. If you have questions, please contact me (see details on the right).

I have prepared a quick tutorial introducing MATLAB to students with programming experience.

In winter 2012 I designed and taught a two-unit freshman seminar on "Godel, Escher, Bach".

In fall 2010 I co-taught a graduate-level class on machine learning and statistics with Jamie Monogan.

Also in fall 2010, Ross Sowell and I ran the first-ever CS pedagogy seminar.

In spring 2010 I taught a section on reinforcement learning in Prof. Kilian Weinberger's class on Machine Learning. The homework project asked the students to create a blackjack player. I will soon post here the code templates given to the students.

In fall 2009 I gave a guest lecture in Prof. James Moscola's class on programming languages. I talked about MATLAB as a functional language, trying to give the students a fresh perspective on the notion of a closure outside the context of LISP. Through the years, I also gave several guest lectures at CSE 200: Engineering and Scientific Computing.

During the academic year of '08-'09 I taught CSE100B - Intro. to MATLAB, a required class for several Engineering majors. In spring 2011, the course was taught by Adam Kraft, who was my student in 2008!
