Teaching and Mentoring Experience

I have actively contributed to academic training through teaching workshops and mentoring students at various levels. My teaching focuses on biomolecular modeling, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and machine learning (ML) techniques.

Teaching Assistant

• Summer Bootcamp on Python and PyTorch for Science and AI link, led by Prof. Pratyush Tiwary (University of Maryland), June-July 2025.
• Molecular Modeling Workshop link, led by Profs. Serdal Kirmizialtin (NYU) and Ozgur Yazaydin (UCL), May 2025.

Workshops and Tutorials

• Led regularly laboratory workshops and tutorials on:
  • Biomolecular modeling and structural preparation (Slides)
  • Molecular dynamics simulations and data-driven simulations (Documentation) (Colab) (Slides)
  • Trajectory analysis and data visualization (Slides)
  • Molecular visualization and presentation tools
