Hello, World!
I hope this page finds you well! A little about me: my name is Theodore J. LaGrow, but most people call me TJ. I am a Quadruple Jacket (MS, Assoc., MBA, PhD) and an Instructor at Georgia Tech, where I have been teaching and building learning experiences for the better part of the last decade.
I serve as an Instructor for both the College of Computing (CS 7641: Machine Learning), one of the largest graduate machine learning courses in the country, and the FlexStack Program (Professional Education). Within FlexStack, I developed and teach the Data Modeling and Visualization Certificate (pandas, matplotlib, sklearn) and the Python AI Principles Certificate, where students build a functional text chatbot (with their own LLM) from the ground up.
My research spans computational neuroscience, signal processing, and brain network dynamics. Originally from Portland, Oregon, I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Oregon (studying Math, CIS, Physics, and Theater) before co-founding a medical imaging startup and securing a patent for diagnosable image capture and storage.
I am passionate about the intersection of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and scalable education. Whether you are a student, researcher, or industry professional, please feel free to reach out!
