Taught Courses
have taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate-level courses in the NUTECH School Of Engineering & Technology (NUSET) as well as in NUTECH School Of Information Technology (NUSIT). Below are the courses I have been involved in teaching:
- Calculus & Analytical Geometry
An introductory course focusing on of functions of one variable, with applications. Concept of limits and continuity. Differentiation and Integration and their applications in science
- Multivariable Calculus
Concepts of functions of several variables, their limits, continuity and partial derivatives, the problems involving maxima and minima, line and surface integrals. Multivariable functions are used to model complex relationships in data where multiple input features influence the output. In graphics programming, functions of multiple variables are employed to define and manipulate three-dimensional objects. Functions of multiple variables play a role in database design and query optimization.
- Linear Algebra
A course focused on providing the fundamentals of solution for system of linear equations, operations on system of equations, matrix properties, solutions and study of their properties.
- Differential Equation
A course focused to enable students to have deep understanding of the basic mathematical concepts of differential equations and different types of analytical methods related to differential equations. It provides ample knowledge and problem-solving skills for modeling simple engineering and real-life scenarios using differential equations and rendering reliable solutions.
- Discrete Structures
Introduces the foundations of discrete mathematics as they apply to Computer Science, focusing on providing a solid theoretical foundation for further work. Further, this course aims to develop understanding and appreciation of the finite nature inherent in most Computer Science problems and structures through study of combinatorial reasoning, abstract algebra, iterative procedures, predicate calculus, tree and graph structures.
- Probability & Statistics
This course introduces probability and statistics, introducing students to quantitative uncertainty analysis and risk assessment with emphasis on engineering applications. The course focuses on probability theory and its applications, with a module covering basic topics in statistics (Basic Statistics, samples, sampling distributions, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing and regression analysis). The probability modules cover events and their probability, the total probability and Baye’s theorems, discrete and continuous random variables and distributions, cumulative distribution function, conditional distributions, moment generating function. Throughout the subject, concepts are illustrated with examples from engineering and everyday life.
- Complex Variables & Transforms
The objective of the course is to teach them basic manipulations on complex numbers also enable them to identify the singular points of an analytic function with the construction of series and explaining usefulness of Laurent series in the computation of line integrals. Another main objective of the course is to teach them to apply Laplace, Fourier and Z transformations and solve various engineering problems using transforms.

Projects :
- Electric Generator (2020): Small instruments are used to portray this concept which can produce electricity. The students learnt how mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by constructing an Electric generator. The purpose of this project is how we can make an electric generator to produce electricity at small scale which will lead in producing electricity at large scale. Hydropower can be a sustainable and nonpolluting source of electricity that can help decrease our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce the threat of global warming.
- Solar Panel (2022): Solar power is the conversion of renewable energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination. Photovoltaics modules use light energy (photons) from the Sun to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. It was an eco-friendly alternative source of energy.
- NEXUS (An AI-Powered Solution) (2024): The project encompassed several AI-powered functionalities under the NEXUS Virtual Assistant, designed to streamline daily tasks through voice commands like web browsing, weather update and fetching news, all through a single platform.
