I will teach emerging web technologies and web design principles. Students will use these principles to understand and critique web-based applications as well as to design and implement projects using state-of-the-art web-based technologies PHP, HTML5, XML, MySQL database, and mobile web app design.

I taught emerging web technologies and principles of information design. Students used these principles to understand and critique web-based applications as well as to design and implement projects using state-of-the-art web-based technologies PHP, HTML5, MySQL database, and mobile web app design. I designed the syllabus, class material and website for this class.

coming soon

This course examines physical/digital co-design and physical computing in the context of an artistic performance practice. The course provides an informal, hands-on and team-based learning environment, in which students work together to develop the conceptual, aesthetic and technical basics of physical/digital co-design through the creation of a physical/digital puppetry piece for live performance. I helped students solve problems in electronics and network programming. We had exhibitions in Center for Puppetry Arts and Creativity and Cognition 2011 conference.

In this project-based course, students develop the conceptual, aesthetic and technical basics of physical/digital co-design in the creation of interactive playful experiences for a multi-generational audience. I taught basic electronics including designing fundamental circuits, using passive and active components, using sensors, and programming Arduino boards. The final project was an outdoor installation/playground. It uses batteries and solar cell panels to power the system. It uses photocells to shutdown in the evening and turn on again in the morning. When visitors approach it, it plays sounds based on the location of the visitors and their distance to the sensors.

I helped organize and teach this class while Dr. Ali Mazalek took a sabbatical leave. We called it Synlab Hacker Workshop. I taught SVN, tabletop programming, physical fabrication, and network programming in this class.

In this project-based course, students develop the conceptual, aesthetic and technical basics of creating interactive narrative applications for emerging tangible display and interaction platforms. My role in this class was to develop a tangile tabletop and use it as the platform for students to build their storytelling applications. At the end of the semester, we had a successful exhibition of the tabletop and the students' works.
