Introduction to Modern Physics
Teaching Assistant, The Pennsylvania State University, Department of Physics, 2024
I was a teaching assistant for Introduction to Modern Physics during the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 semesters. I led weekly recitations, held office hours to answer students’ questions, and graded their homework assignments.
