Taught Courses
I have taught a variety of undergraduate-level courses in the Computer Science Department. Below are the courses I have been involved in teaching:
- Introduction to Programming (CS101)
An introductory course focusing on programming concepts using Python, covering topics such as variables, control structures, functions, and basic data structures.
- Data Structures and Algorithms (CS202)
A core course that covers fundamental data structures (e.g., arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs) and algorithmic techniques (e.g., sorting, searching, recursion) with a focus on computational complexity.
- Computer Networks (CS270)
A core course that covers the fundamental concepts of computer networking, including network models (OSI and TCP/IP), data communication, routing, switching, network protocols, and security. The course emphasizes practical implementation and troubleshooting of networks.
- Theory of Automata (CS301)
A core course that delves into formal languages, finite automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines. It explores the mathematical foundations of computation, focusing on language recognition, decidability, and complexity theory.
- Software Quality Engineering (CS305)
A specialized course that focuses on the principles, techniques, and tools for ensuring software quality. Topics include software testing, quality assurance, process improvement, and metrics for evaluating software reliability, efficiency, and maintainability.
Research
My research focuses on the intersection of Computer Networks, Machine Learning and Computer Vision. I am currently working on several projects that apply AI techniques to healthcare, and Transportation, such as developing algorithms for automated diagnosis and personalized treatment recommendations.
