As of summer of 2026 I have lectured for a little more than 1200 hours. I have taught many of the basic courses taken by physics undergraduates and several elective courses that can be expected to be within the domain of a condensed matter theorist. Teaching has come to be a major part of my life as an academic since I started as a faculty. I have done it, ostensibly, to "train young minds" but in reality have always used it (sometimes gratefully) as an opportunity to keep or make myself familiar with the subject matter at hand. I have enjoyed the time that I spent in delivering lectures, interacting with students, and discussing pedagogy with colleagues.
