Math Curriculum Developer and Data Scientist with a focus on education.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Math Curriculum Developer and Data Scientist with extensive experience in education and data analysis. My journey began with a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Tehran, followed by an M.S. in Applied Mathematics, and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Missouri-Columbia. My academic background has equipped me with a strong foundation in mathematical concepts and data science techniques, particularly in Topological Data Analysis.
Throughout my career, I have developed innovative course materials and taught various mathematics subjects, including Linear Algebra and Abstract Algebra, to students at different levels. My role as a Graduate Teaching Assistant has allowed me to leverage advanced tools like Keppler Mapper and GUDHI to analyze complex data structures. Additionally, I have worked as a Data Engineer, where I collected and organized educational data, conducted statistical analyses, and produced insightful reports for educational departments.
My passion for mathematics and education drives me to create engaging learning experiences for students. I am committed to enhancing educational outcomes through data-driven insights and innovative curriculum development. I look forward to contributing my skills and expertise to organizations that value education and data science.
