TEACHING
I am passionate about teaching and have taught at various universities, most recently University of California, Berkeley. This page contains the links to some of my class materials.
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Teaching
I initiated and led the Teaching Privacy project that aims to empower K-12 and college students in making informed choices about privacy by providing educational tools for teachers. Please watch one of the example videos: Trope 1.

I wanted an offline, non-distracting environment where my 7-year old can practice reading and writing while learning to program. The sensation of causing an action simply by typing a word is priceless. Not liking any of the current systems, I ended up installing a 1980s Commodore emulator onto a Raspberry Pi and authoring an introduction to programming book readable by elementary school children.

Shortly before data science became the popular term, Ramesh Jain and I decided to write a book describing computer science in terms of sensor-based input. This is, data-driven computing. We called it multimedia computing as the main goal is to have the computer analyze and present data to humans for interaction and knowledge acquisition. More info here.
