Teaching

TE04 COMP 334: Information Security and Privacy
Fall 2024, Spring 2023, Spring 2020, Fall 2018
This course explores principles and practical applications of computer security and privacy. Some of the topics covered include static and dynamic code analysis, secure authentication, privacy enhancing technologies, usable privacy and security, and web tracking. It will also touch upon theoretical areas, such as basic cryptographic concepts as well as differential privacy. The course has the objective to provide students with the conceptual knowledge and technical skills to identify and resolve privacy and security issues in the design, development, and evaluation of information systems.

TE03 COMP 333: Software Engineering
Spring 2025, Fall 2023, Spring 2022, Spring 2021
Software engineering is the application of engineering principles to the software development process. Eliciting requirements from stakeholders, designing the architecture of a program, performing usability studies, and testing a codebase are some of the aspects that elevate program development to software engineering. Focusing on web and mobile apps, students in this course will gain expertise in state-of-the-art frontend, backend, and mobile technologies, as well as related tooling. We will also cover the collaborative organization of software projects, software licensing, software business models, and ethical considerations for professional software engineers.

TE02 COMP 114: How to Talk to Machines
Spring 2024, Fall 2022, Fall 2020, Fall 2019, Spring 2019
How do we tell robots and computers how to do what they do? Getting a handle on this question is the goal of this course. Since telling a device how to do something depends a lot on what that device can do, along the way we will learn a bit about what is “in the box.” We will start with the kind of programming one might use to instruct a robot how to interact with the world around it. That will lead us to the Turing machine, a beautiful mathematical model of a computer. We will adapt that model to something that is closer to how most computer systems today are designed. We will end with an introduction to high-level programming, learning the fundamentals of programming in a language such as Python or Java. The goal of the course is to understand not just programming, but how computers are designed, and how those designs are reflected in the way we program them.

TE01 COMP 4xx/5xx: Advanced Information Security and Privacy Research Seminar
Spring 2025, Fall 2024, Spring 2024, Fall 2023, Spring 2023, Fall 2022, Spring 2022, Fall 2021, Spring 2021, Fall 2020, Spring 2020, Fall 2019, Spring 2019, Fall 2018
In this research seminar students will work together on a research project that is advancing knowledge in information security and privacy. During their work they will not only gain experience in security and privacy, but in web and mobile app engineering as well. Students will also have the opportunity to co-author a paper to be submitted at a top-tier academic security and privacy venue.
