Teaching and Mentoring

During my PhD, I had been a teaching assistant in the Telecommunications Department of INSA Lyon. I mainly taught the following classes:

  • Fundamentals of computer networking (lectures, labs and tutorials)
  • Performance analysis of computer networks (labs and tutorials)
  • Network routing protocols (labs)
  • Architecture of middlewares (labs)

As the Lead Postdoc of the ASTRO project at Rice Univeristy, I (co)mentored the following research interns:

  • Summer 2021: T. Efimov, B. Knezevic
  • Spring/Summer 2020: S. Schuepbach, M. Angino, A. Swadi, Aravind Kuchibhatla, A. Gavrić, A. Lee
  • Fall 2019: D. Vadasz, L. Germano
  • Summer 2019: S. Morosov, Anirudh Kuchibhatla, C. Kang, M. Sholeen, A. Bhatnagar, (R. Knightly)
