I have taught both broad courses, such as intro to programming, cybersecurity, and computer systems, and specialized courses, such as distributed systems, network protocols, network security and forensics, etc. Finally, I have also offered special topics courses in my research area (Internet Security, Authentication and Privacy, etc.), and run workshops in India and in Peru. My strong SRATE ratings (4.5+ / 5) are partly thanks to my best friend (who does research in education and has given me lots of help).

More importantly, I have mentored several students at UG, PG, and PhD levels. Some UG mentees have gone on to top-tier institutes (Harvard, UPenn, Oxford, LSE), and others to Google, Microsoft, and Facebook. Some PG and PhD mentees are now themselves faculty members in India, and one in particular – Devashish Gosain – is a good friend and collaborator.
