Some recent courses:
In Fall 2018, I will be teaching GEO 384F: Finite Element Method in Geophysics. A flyer describing the course can be found here.
Fall 2015: CSE 397/GEO 391/ME 397/ORI 397: Computational and Variational Methods for Inverse Problems
Fall 2014: GEO 384F: Computational Methods for Geophysics
Spring 2013: GEO 384F: Computational Methods for Geophysics

NOTE: A NEW WEBPAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION (SIGH). IN THE MEANTIME, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ANY OF MY PAPERS, MY FULL CV (STARTING ON P.7) CONTAINS HYPERLINKS TO MOST OF MY PUBLISHED AND SUBMITTED PAPERS. FOR PUBLISHED PAPERS, THE HYPERLINK IN MY CV POINTS TO THE JOURNAL VERSION. FOR SUBMITTED PAPERS, THE HYPERLINK POINTS TO THE ARXIV PREPRINT. IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS OBTAINING A PAPER, LET ME KNOW.
