Project supervisor

Computation & Cognition Tübingen Summer Internship (CaCTüS)

The CaCTüS program provides research opportunities to Bachelor and Master students wordwide who are held back by personal, financial, regional or societal constraints. As a project supervisor, I am responsible for designing a 3-month summer research project to be carried out by a CaCTüS intern, under my supervision.

High School Mentor

Minds Matter Portland

Minds Matter is a nationwide program that provides additional tutoring and mentoring on Saturdays for highly motivated, economically disadvantaged high school students that aspire to attend a 4-year university. As a mentor, I worked with two high school students every Saturday, starting from their sophomore year of high school, to help them navigate the college application process. Both students successfully entered 4-year degree programs in the fall of 2020.
