Teaching Experience

I have been teaching in higher education for over 25 years, beginning in 1998 as a scholarship holder during my undergraduate studies, progressing to teaching assistant, and serving as a professor since 2002 with full responsibility for both theoretical and practical instruction. Since 2016, I have coordinated multiple courses in informatics and computer engineering, across undergraduate and master’s programs.
