Teaching Experience

Mentoring and educating the next generation of computer scientists

Teaching Philosophy

I believe in creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore, question, and develop their understanding. My teaching approach combines theoretical foundations with practical applications, encouraging students to think critically about problems and develop creative solutions. I strive to make complex concepts accessible through clear explanations, real-world examples, and hands-on exercises.
