Biography
I am an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University. As a teaching-track faculty member, my primary responsibility involves teaching. I am currently course coordinator for the CSC316 Data Structures & Algorithms course. I also serve as a Technical Advisor and mentor for the CSC Department’s Senior Design Center. Aside from teaching, my work focuses on creation and innovative use of technologies for facilitating computer science teaching and learning.
Based on my work with developing and incorporating innovative technologies into my courses to facilitate teaching and learning, I received the NCSU Gertrude Cox Award for Innovative Excellence in Teaching and Learning with Technology for 2017-2018.
