Education & Teaching

Courses Taught at the College of Charleston

My upper level courses (231, 390, and 397) are supported in part by DataCamp, an intuitive online platform for learning data science. Being able to manage large datasets is key to the future of astronomy research, and I appreciate DataCamp's support of education by providing free access to their premium content for students.
