TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have taught the following courses at Michigan Technological University
UN5550 – Introduction to Data Sciences (3 credit hours)
Description: This course covers the foundations for the M.S. in Data Sciences program at MTU, including probability and statistics, linear algebra, programming in Python, business aspects of data science, and high-performance computing.
Grus, Data Science from Scratch., O'Reilly, 2015.
EE/CS5841 – Machine Learning (3 credit hours)
Description: This course will explore the foundational techniques of machine learning. Topics are pulled from the areas of unsupervised and supervised learning. Specific methods covered include naive Bayes, decision trees, support vector machines (SVMs), ensemble, and clustering methods.
EE/CS5821 – Computational Intelligence (3 credit hours)
Description: This course covers the four main paradigms of Computational Intelligence, viz., fuzzy systems, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computing, and swarm intelligence, and their integration to develop hybrid systems. Applications of Computational Intelligence include classification, regression, clustering, controls, robotics, etc.
CS4821 – Data Mining (3 credit hours)
Description: Data mining focuses on extracting knowledge from large data sources (related fields include statistics and machine learning). The course introduces data mining concepts, methodology (measurement, visualization, evaluation, etc.), algorithms (classification/regression, clustering, association, etc.) and applications (web mining, recommender systems, bioinformatics, etc.).
