Teaching

• CY-212 / ITI-212

  Web Development in UNIX

  Undergraduate, Fall 2026

  Students build accessible, responsive web applications with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, server-side code, SQL, Git and UNIX workflows. Security is part of the build from the start: forms, authentication, sessions, database access and deployment are all done with secure practices.

• CY-221

  Foundations of Cybersecurity

  Undergraduate, Fall 2026

  An introduction to security principles, assets, threats, risk, human factors, identity and incident response. Practical cases train students to explain security decisions to both technical and nontechnical audiences.

• CY-410

  Software and System Security

  Undergraduate, Fall 2026

  Brings together threat modeling, secure architecture, identity and access control, vulnerability management, cryptography, monitoring, incident response, and software and mobile security. Students apply them in hands-on labs and a final project.

  Public material: Authentication lab (educational example)

• CY-424

  Emerging Trends in Cybersecurity

  Undergraduate, Fall 2026

  Examines AI both as a defensive tool and as an attack surface. Topics include adversarial machine learning, security of LLM applications, risks of retrieval-augmented generation and agents, software supply chains, cloud identity, post-quantum migration and critical infrastructure.

My courses connect security concepts with practical work. Students build and analyze systems, evaluate evidence, explain tradeoffs and communicate recommendations. Assignments include guided cases, programming, controlled security labs, research briefs, demonstrations and capstone projects.

• Build and analyze

  Students write working software and then examine its design for weaknesses, as in the authentication lab, so secure design is something they practice rather than memorize.

• Controlled labs

  Security exercises run in isolated environments with fictional data, which lets students try real techniques without touching real systems.

• Evidence and explanation

  Research briefs and presentations ask students to support a security recommendation with evidence and explain it to the audience that has to act on it.
