Teaching Experience

I am prepared to teach core Computer Science courses as well as advanced courses connected to Cyber-Physical Systems, distributed systems, cloud/edge computing, optimization, and intelligent infrastructure.

Courses Ready to Teach

Core Computer Science

• Operating Systems
• Data Structures and Algorithms
• Computer Networks
• Distributed Systems
• Cloud and Edge Computing
• Internet of Things
• Cyber-Physical Systems

Special Topics and New Courses

• Strategic Interaction in Cyber-Physical Systems
• Mechanism Design and Game Theory for Computing Systems
• Resource Coordination in Intelligent Transportation and Smart Infrastructure
• Cloud-Edge-Serverless Systems for Latency-Sensitive Applications
• Optimization and Learning for Networked Systems

Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy emphasizes learning by doing, conceptual clarity, and research-driven problem solving. I connect theoretical foundations with real-world systems through hands-on labs, case studies, and open-ended projects drawn from operating systems, distributed systems, cloud-edge computing, IoT, Cyber-Physical Systems, and intelligent infrastructure.

Through mentoring and classroom instruction, I focus on:

• Developing strong algorithmic and systems intuition
• Helping students connect abstractions to deployable systems
• Encouraging independent thinking, experimentation, and reproducible evaluation
• Guiding students toward research-oriented problem formulation
