I am an engaging, adaptable, and enthusiastic educator who cares deeply about improving the quality of an inclusive culture in higher learning at the University of Virginia. My commitment to providing students with a comprehensive and practical education has allowed me to develop a diverse and dynamic teaching portfolio. I supervised over 30 student research projects and independent studies in machine learning, deep learning, and software development. In the past four years, my research efforts have led to the publication of multiple textbooks (4), journal articles (2), and conference papers (9), as well as successful collaboration on research grants with prestigious organizations such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the University of Virginia (UVA), the Global Infectious Diseases Institute (GIDI), UVA’s Center for Teaching Excellence, and Google with a total research award of $1,850,000. For more details, please refer to my home page: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~nn4pj/
