My teaching interests span applications of machine learning to finance, asset pricing, macroeconomics, investments, and fixed income at any level from introductory undergraduate through advanced masters.
Working at the nexus of computational methods and finance, I particularly enjoy bridging this gap for others: teaching finance fundamentals to technical audiences and technical methods to advanced finance and management students. I focus on integrating economic theory with mathematical modeling and numerical methods, emphasizing a blend of intuition and practicality to provide students with both theoretical foundations and real-world quantitative skills.

I explain a flexible workflow framework for creating custom course materials using AI assistants as writing tools. The approach implements an iterative content generation pipeline where instructors retain control of pedagogical structure while delegating drafting, formatting, and iteration to AI. This editor-first methodology leverages modern language models to efficiently produce lecture slides, detailed notes, and practice materials tailored to specific student populations.
The flexible framework allows instructors to easily adapt the methodology to their own courses by customizing student level, examples, technical depth, and exposition style through LaTeX templates and AI configuration files.
