- Introduction to Mathematical Modeling in Epidemiology & Public Health (Epid 603, now Epid 633), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor – basic introduction to math modeling in epidemiology, with examples drawn broadly from infectious disease, chronic disease, and social epidemiology.
- Systems Modeling of Social Processes, Behavior, and Chronic Disease (Epid 618, now Epid 637), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor – complex system modeling of chronic diseases and social behavior processes, using agent-based, network models, and dynamic system models.
- Scientific Communication for Epidemiologists (Epid 530), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor – overview of scientific writing and communication.
- Foundations of Higher Mathematics (Math 345), The Ohio State University (Fall 2010) – this course introduces students (primarily math majors) to basic proof techniques, logic, and set theory.
