I have had the opportunity to teach in a wide variety of formats and topics during my time as a graduate student and a postdoctoral researcher:
Invited lecturer, Centre for Doctoral Training, University of Oxford
Demonstrator, Biomedical Ultrasound Coursework Module, University of Oxford
TA, Therapeutic and Diagnostic Ultrasound (BIOEN 449/549), University of Washington
TA, MRI & Ultrasound (BIOEN 447/547), University of Washington
Co-supervisor of DPhil Student, Victoria Chris
College advisor of 8-10 Kellogg College graduate students per academic year
Primary mentor of four undergraduate students at UW
Unofficial supervision of many, many more!
I am a firm believer that our scientific achievements are of limited value if they cannot be communicated effectively. I have been lucky to have had a number of opportunities to imrpove my scientific communication by engaging with the public about my research:
“Can ultrasound and bubbles be the next class of antibiotic?” Pint of Science 2024
“How can we use sound waves to eliminate infections?” Oxford Sparks Big Questions Podcast
“Can we use sound to eliminate infections?” Oxford Spotlight: Illuminating Engineering Series
“Using sound to cure cancer” UW Engage Speaker Series (Town Hall Seattle)
I believe that stepping beyond the academic ivory tower is essential not only for translating research into public awareness and impact, but also for inspiring more young people into pursuing careers in STEM. I've had the pleasure of designing and running public-facing outreach activities and hosting local students in the lab.
