In addition, Yanamadala has served as a teaching fellow for five Organic Chemistry courses, earning certificates of distinction for his high evaluation ratings. Since freshman year, Yanamadala has also done research with Gale Professor of Education Richard J. Light on the undergraduate experience in the sciences, which culminated in a 50-page report. The document, which recommended curriculum, advising, and research opportunity changes, helped develop of the Harvard College Program for Research in Science and Engineering, a 10-week residential program for students pursuing science research.
