Brief Biographical Sketch:
I have taught with ESP since 1994, both at MIT and Stanford. Over the years, I have taught classes in mathematics, computer science, psychology, and economics. After finishing my degrees at MIT (S.B. and M.Eng), I worked at an electronics startup company, taught processor design at Northeastern University, investigated yeast genetics at the Whitehead Institute, and lived in Kenya for two years studying health and education in rural settings. I am now a doctoral student at U.C. Berkeley, investigating the economics of poor countries.
