Teaching

I have been teaching since 2002 when I took a lecturer position in the University of Passo Fundo (UPF), Brazil. At UPF, I lectured Operating Systems, Structure Programming and C Language. From 2004 until 2008, at Macquarie University, I taught tutorial on computer science and information systems introductory courses, C++ language, and advanced algorithms and data structures.

I am currently not involved in any of the University of Sydney courses as my position is research only, however I do supervise honours and vacation scholar students.
