Anindya Maiti, Ph.DTeaching / Learning is exploration
Good questions
are a place to begin.
From a first software abstraction to a new research question: courses in programming, cybersecurity, decentralized systems and graduate computing research.
The approach
Understand it.
Try it. Question it.
I like teaching that moves between an idea and something you can investigate: a paper to question, a program to build, or a system whose behavior needs explaining.
I value patient questions, clear explanations, and the confidence that grows from testing an idea for yourself.

Beyond the lecture
A question of your own.
Independent study and mentored research give students room to move from reading the work to shaping a question, investigating it, and explaining what they find.
