General Skills

Teaching Skills Time Management I have been teaching assistant for "Data Hiding" MSc course in 2011/12 and 2012/13.

I was a lecturer and teaching assistant for the following BSc courses from 2007 2010: "Digital Image Processing", "Introduction to Computer Graphics", "Graph Theory", "Data Structures and Algorithms".

I was a coach of ACM/ICPC teams. Our team entered the World Final ACM/ICPC programming contest in 2010.

During my PhD, I have extensive experience of juggling different tasks from many deadlines in my teaching and supervisory duties.

Team working Most of the time I have been collaborating with colleagues from different nationalities in developing solutions, solving problems and writing papers.

Leadership and Decision Making I was organization committee of some international conferences, namely International Conference on Theories and Applications on Computer Science (ICTACS) in 2008, International Conference on Computing and Telecommunication Technologies (IEEE - RIVF) in 2009. I assisted the organization of events during my catering experience, managing people and supplies. During my PhD experience I worked with students, supervising them in course and final projects.

Interests

Photography I’m a landscape photographer.

Hiking I often do hiking in weekends.

Writing I am writing a book for travelling feeling experiences.
