Karthik Urs demonstrated great dedication to educational quality for his students. Over seven semesters of teaching, Karthik worked on many innovative improvements with the lab portion of the course. To give students the best experience possible, these improvements aimed to increase maintainability, efficiency, and accessibility.

He also played a key role in rapidly adapting the course for COVID-19. Throughout his years of teaching, Karthik Urs defined what it means to be innovative, creative, and passionate.
