Teaching Interests

My teaching interests span the core domains of Information Systems and Cybersecurity, with particular emphasis on cyber risk management, security governance, incident response, and organizational decision-making. I am especially committed to courses that help students bridge technical knowledge with managerial reasoning, including cybersecurity strategy, enterprise risk assessment, secure systems design, and data-driven decision support. I also have strong interests in delivering foundational courses—such as introductory cybersecurity, computer networks, and information systems fundamentals—that prepare students for advanced study while grounding them in key technical and analytical competencies.
