Graduate Teaching Assistant — CSE 291: AI Agents

Graduate Course, University of California, San Diego, 2026

In Winter 2026, I served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for CSE 291: AI Agents at UC San Diego under Dr. Prithviraj Ammanabrolu. The course covers the foundations and frontier of agentic systems built on top of foundation models — reasoning, planning, tool use, multi-turn interaction, RL for agents, and the open research questions that come with them.

My duties included:

  • Holding office hours and discussion sections.
  • Designing and grading homework assignments and project rubrics.
  • Mentoring student final projects on agentic systems and LLM-based pipelines.
  • Answering questions on the class forum.
