Course design

2003. Developed a lab/project on least squares estimation and Kalman filtering for the course 431-461 Digital Signal Processing.


2001. Developed a lab/project on spectral analysis and filter design for the course 431-461 Digital Signal Processing.


1998. Redesigned the system identification part of the course 431-416 Advanced Digital Control and Identification at the University of Melbourne.

Developed lecture notes and computer exercises for the workshop and delivered 6 lectures at the workshop. 
Committee work

2002. Member of committee which gave detailed recommendation for a restructuring (including syllabus) of all signals and systems courses in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Melbourne. 
Miscellaneous

Teaching assistance.

Employed as teaching assistant from January 1989 to September 1989 in the Division of Engineering Cybernetics, Norwegian Institute of Technology. Responsibilities included

Assignments. Running the assignment program in the second year course Basic System Theory (approximately 350 students) and the fourth year course Guidance and Navigation (approximately 10 students).
Laboratories. Supervising the two fourth year laboratories Digital Control and Industrial Robot.

Tutoring.

Tutored second year mathematics to engineering students at the Norwegian Institute of Technology from September 1986 to May 1987.
Tutored first year mathematics to engineering students at the Norwegian Institute of Technology from September 1987 to May 1988. These latter tutorials were based on the learning principle of ``learning through cooperation'' where the students worked together in small groups.
