Advanced Topics in Mobile Computing

•  I designed this course in 2012 for advanced UG and PG students. The course is offered every year and different faculty members teach it. The course includes advanced concepts like localization, activity detection, mobile sensing, crowdsensing, etc. The course is run in a ‘flipped’ class mode with programming demonstration. The reading material consists of research papers from MobiSys, TMC, IMWUT, and other mobile computing venues. The students do multiple programming assignments and also a project at the end of the course.

Human-Computer Interaction

•  This is a fundamental course and was designed as part of the UG Program in ‘CS and Design’. The course introduces the principles of Human-Computer Interaction. It covers concepts like User-centered design principles, PACT framework, and rapid prototyping. The course is taught in a regular classroom model with active learning techniques following standard HCI textbooks.

Computer Networks

•  This is a fundamental course and was designed as part of the UG Program in ‘Computer Science & Engineering’. The course is a standard UG-level Networking course covering different protocols in TCP/IP stack, fundamental networking concepts like addressing, congestion, security, etc. The course is taught in a regular classroom model with active learning techniques following standard Computer Networking textbooks. I have taught this course multiple times.

Operating Systems

•  This is a fundamental course and was designed as part of the UG Program in ‘Computer Science & Engineering. The course is a standard UG-level Operating Systems course covering concepts like Processes, Memory, and File System, etc. The course is taught in a regular classroom model with active learning techniques following standard Operating Systems textbooks. I have taught this course multiple times.

Mobile Computing

• This course was designed in consultation with industry experts and based on the industry de- mands. The course is an introduction to mobile computing and emphasizes building up skills in mobile programming. The course is one of the most popular elective courses at IIIT-Delhi and is taken by hundreds of students every year. The course teaches the ecosystem and programming of mobile applications. The course is programming-heavy. The students do multiple programming assignments and also a project at the end of the course.

Programming Cloud Services for Mobile Applications

• I designed this course in 2014 as part of the specialization in Mobile Computing for Master Program for advanced UG and PG students. The course includes cloud computing concepts and teaches to develop scalable mobile-cloud systems. The students do multiple programming assignments and also a project at the end of the course.

NPTEL Online Course on Mobile Computing                                                         

• I was approached to create an online course on Android Programming under the Na- tional Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL). I offered the course on the NPTEL platform. The course attracted registrations of 13,000+ students. The course videos are available on Youtube.
