Both fields are under constant and rapid development; arguably faster and more-so than any other discipline. It is thus essential that academic staff teaching in the discipline both keep up to date with current technological advances and are able to prepare and to present new, essential and quality teaching materials based on these advances. Students studying in this field have high expectations during their studies. Therefore, I sincerely believe that it is important to emphasize to students that much of Signal Processing centers around many recurring themes and that its strong theoretical basis and history continue to drive new research and development. I like the job as a teacher as I believe I can share with my students my knowledge, ways-of-thinking and help them learn a particular subject in a way that I learned it the best. I think in teaching especially, \u201chow to learn\u201d has the highest priority and usually the toughest part of the job. To do so, I do my best to make them participate and \u201cdo the stuff\u201d by any means possible e.g., by accomplishing real-life projects, lab exercises, and frequent Q&amp;A sessions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently teaching (2017 Fall):\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ELEC-555 Statistical Signal Processing<\/li>\n<li>GENG-200\u00a0Probability and Statistics for Engineers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prior\u00a0Engagements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Qatar University: (Electrical Engineering)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ELEC-201 Electric Circuits<\/li>\n<li>ELEC-555 Statistical Signal Processing (Created)<\/li>\n<li>GENG-607 &#8211; Optimization Methods (Created)<\/li>\n<li>CENG 561 &#8211; Advanced Digital Signal Processing (Created)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<u>Tampere University of Technology, Finland: (Signal Processing)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-4227\u00a0 Digital Audio Processing and Analysis \u00a0(Created)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-3016\u00a0 Digital Image Processing<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-5508\u00a0 Multimedia Analysis and Retrieval (Created)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-5858\u00a0 Multimedia Graduate Seminar<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-5707\u00a0 Multimedia Innovations Project Course<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-9206\u00a0 Signal Processing Graduate Seminar II<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-24006\u00a0 Analysis of Audio, Speech and Music Signals<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-14006\u00a0 Audio and Speech Processing (Signal Processing)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-12006\u00a0 Basic Course in Image and Video Processing (Created)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-31006\u00a0 Image and Video Processing Techniques (Created)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-12000\u00a0 Kuvan- ja videonk\u00e4sittelyn perusteet<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 SGN-33006\u00a0 Video Compression<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>American University of Sharjah, UAE: (Electrical Engineering)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 ELE-225 Electrical Circuits and Systems<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 ELE-323 Signal Processing<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 ELE-324 Digital Signal Processing<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 ELE-643 Computer Vision and Image Processing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Philosophy:\u00a0 Signal Processing and Information Technologies are challenging disciplines in which to teach.
