Teaching
Communicating knowledge is a skill that improves only through practice.
In Fall 2025, I led lab sections for Research Methods in Psychology at Johns Hopkins. The role gave me extensive experience delivering short lectures, running in-class discussions, guiding R programming sessions and workshops, and helping students turn broad interests into workable research questions. I supported students through detailed written feedback and one-on-one meetings as they designed projects on topics ranging from mental well-being to musical learning (extremely interesting questions outside my usual research area!)
In Spring 2026, I gave a guest lecture, “Watch Out for the Visual Cliff!”, in Introduction to Cognitive Psychology, a course enrolling about 400 students. The lecture focused on discussing the classic work by Dr. Gibson and Walker, where I introduced students to the foundational debates about "nature versus nurture", while also providing them an example case on how research programs are built (by testing a question from multiple angles, eliminating alternative explanations, and expanding the strength and scope of the claim).
