Teaching and Graduate Supervision
Summary. I teach a normal teaching load in the Department of Computer Science. I
also teach industry-oriented courses through the Faculty of Continuing Education and at
company sites. I have received a teaching award, and have been nominated twice for other
awards. I currently supervise two graduate students, and have supervised four M.Sc.
students to a successful conclusion. I regularly participate in PhD supervisory
committees, thesis defences, and candidacy examinations.
