Mathematics is exciting and useful! Here is a list of my missionary activities:
- I organize Cornell's Dynamical Systems Seminar (since spring 2010)
- I organized a graduate student seminar on applied dynamical systems (2010)
- I was teaching assistant, instructor, and head teaching assistant for a large number of courses at Cornell University, including "Calculus", multivariable calculus, undergraduate "Ordinary and partial differential equations", undergraduate "Differential equations and numerical methods", graduate "Dynamical systems" and graduate "Applied Dynamical Systems"
- I co-organized a workshop on networks for the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth and worked as a facilitator in the workshop sessions (2010)
- I devised and taught a 4-week calculus course for gifted 10th-graders at the Lise-Meitner-Schule Stuhr-Moordeich (summer 2008)
- I created teaching materials about Mathematics and Sudokus for school teachers for Cornell's Math Explorer's Club (summer 2009)
- I translated the textbook "Elementary differential geometry" by Christian Bär from German to English (2003). You can preview (or buy!) it here.
In 2010, I received the Hutchinson Fellowship, awarded annually for "outstanding work as teaching assistants or as students in the graduate program" to only 2 of about 70 PhD students in the Cornell Department of Mathematics.
