Semester 2, Period 4-5, 2025: Connecting Your Digital World

Coordinator/Lecturer, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

  • This course is part of the Bachelor program Science, Technology & Innovation (ST&I), College of Science.
  • The main goal of the course is to teach students how modern web applications are designed, developed, and operated. Specifically, it covers:
    • Fundamentals of networked systems, and digital web systems.
    • Client-side web programming, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
    • Server-side programming, including modular web server frameworks, e.g., FLASK
    • Interactive web and Visualizations
    • Understanding, designing, and operating backend database systems (MySQL)
    • Group project to develop a full stack interactive web application for given use case
Semester 1, Period 2, 2024: Large Systems

Lecturer/Teacher, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

  • This is the first course I am teaching after joining UvA, which is a Master’s SNE course.
  • The course covers:
    • Understanding the architecture and design principles of distributed systems (DS)
    • Comprehending virtualization technologies and their implications in large systems
    • Configuring and managing virtual environments, optimizing resource utilization through virtual machine migrations
    • Using tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef to provision and manage infrastructure (Infrastructure as Code)
    • Analyzing and troubleshooting issues in DS, focusing on consistency, fault tolerance, and system failures

Summer 2023: Data Intensive Computing (194.048)

Lecturer, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Austria

  • The course covers topics on Big Data Processing with frameworks like MapReduce, Hadoop, Spark, and SparkMLLib.
  • Delivered lectures and evaluated the student assignmetns and exams.
  • Designed, and handled the three practical assignments on (i) text retrieval with Hadoop, (ii) text analysis and classification with Spark and SparkMLLib, and (iii) edge offloading with AWS.
Winter 2022: AI/ML in the Era of Climate Change (194.125)

Lecturer, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Austria

  • I and Prof. Ivona Brandic created this new Master’s course at TU Wien.
