I am a Clinical Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical
Sciences at New York University.
I teach several undergraduate classes in the department (see the Teaching link
for more details).
My current reasearch interest include: 1) teaching open source priciples at all levels of
computer science undergraduate curriculum, 2) involving students in humanitarian free open source software,
3) computer science pedagody.
