Michael Ivanitskiy
About GitHub Research Software Teaching
  • Developed and taught the “decoding GPT” course at Mines with Samy Wu Fung and Daniel McKenzie in Spring of 2024, and we are offering it again in Spring 2025!

  • The Mines AMS department provides funding for graduate students to run “bootcamps” on technical skills for incoming graduate students. I’ve been responsible for the bash/git bootcamp since 2022 (materials: github.com/mivanit/bash-git-bootcamp), and have co-run the python bootcamp with Hafiz Issah since 2024 (which uses github.com/mivanit/python-project-makefile-template)

  • I’m also very lucky to have had the opportunity to be a TA for the computational neuroscience course taught at Mines by my advisor Cecilia Diniz Behn, which is somewhat inspired by the computational neuroscience course at U of M by Victoria Booth. That course was one of my favorites of my undergraduate career!

  • Undergrad and then Grad student instructor for MMSS with Michael Jones from 2017-2021

  • A variety of other TA/tutoring roles over the years at Umich, Mines, Ann Arbor Math Olympiad Co-Op, and elsewhere.
