Teaching
This semester (Spring 2019) I am teaching for the first time CS330 Introduction to Algorithms
My office hours are: Tues: 2:30pm-4pm and Wed: 1:30pm-3pm.
In Fall 2018, I was on maternity leave.
In the past, I have taught a graduate course on algorithmic data mining (CS 565), and I have recently developed a practical class on data mining called ‘‘Tools for Data Science" (CS 506). A sample of this class can be found here.
In the past I have taught Data Combinatorial structures (CS 131) for four years and multiple seminars.
Servince
Program co-chair (research track) for ACM SIGKDD 2019. – Journal Track Co-chair for ECML/PKDD 2019. – Program Co-chair of “Social networks and graph analysis track”, in WWW 2015.
