Setting Up VS Code for C/C++ in Windows
Published:
This is a video I created for my students to set up their VS Code, from installing VS Code to setting the IDE up so that they can write, compile, and run their C/C++ source code.
Reading CSV Files in C

Typhlex: Controlling a Mobile Screen Reader with Deformable Input for Blind Users
Published in IEEE Pervasive Computing, Special Issue on Flexible and Shape-Changing Interfaces, 2017
This paper describes the iterative design process of a deformable device prototype - Typhlex, with strategically placed grooves to elicit bend gestures—and lessons learned from two user studies.

Re-Twist: Evaluating Engagement in a Digitally Augmented Traditional Game
Published in Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction, 2019
This poster presents a digitally augmented version of Twister, a popular party game, by introducing the element of time and score via a pressure-senitive mat that communicates with a projected screen. It’s based on a student project in a course I taught.

Tangible Around-Device Interaction Using Rotatory Gestures with a Magnetic Ring
Published in Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services, 2019
This paper explored the mobile gameplay context by implementing an interface that uses rotatory gestures from a magnetic ring as input, and compared with some other typical ways of input.

CMPT 125 Intro. to CS & Programming II
Undergraduate course, Simon Fraser University, School of Computing Science, 2023
An continuation from CMPT 120 on programming and some CS-related concepts (e.g., history, problem-solving). Introduces students to some common data structures (e.g., stacks, queues, linked lists, trees) and algorithms (e.g., Mergesort, Quicksort). C and C++ are the programming languages of choice.
CMPT 120 Intro. to CS & Programming I
Undergraduate course, Simon Fraser University, School of Computing Science, 2024
An introductory course on programming and some CS-related concepts (e.g., history, problem-solving). Python is the programming language of choice.
CMPT 225 Data Structures & Programming
Undergraduate course, Simon Fraser University, School of Computing Science, 2024
One of the most important courses in the CS program. In SFU this is a pre-requisite course for over 20 CMPT courses and it is for good reasons: it teaches some of the most fundamental concepts in CS (e.g., abstract data types, algorithms, data structures) that are used in many advanced CS topics; it also teaches some programming techniques so students can comfortably implement those concepts and write their own programs. C++ is the programming language of choice (some versions use Java, goal is to have some form of OOP).
CMPT 263 Introduction to Human-Centered Computing
Undergraduate course, Simon Fraser University, School of Computing Science, 2024
This course teaches an important area of CS that people often overlook – creating computational artifacts that are useful, usable, and meaningful for human users. This is a relatively new course but many post-secondary institutions, e.g., UToronto, UWaterloo, UBC, and StanfordU, are already having similar courses in their CS program.
MACM 101 Discrete Mathematics I
Undergraduate course, Simon Fraser University, School of Computing Science, 2025
A foundational course in mathematics covering basics in discrete mathematics to prepare students for a wide range of courses that require math (e.g., counting, logic, proofs, represetation of numbers).
