Teaching
Since becoming an ARC Future Fellow, my teaching focuses on the theory of computation.
The subject has been known as Theoretical Computer Science (COMP30021), Theory of Computation (COMP30025), and in 2015 will become Advanced Theoretical Computer Science (COMP90057). Professor Liz Sonenberg will be co-teaching this subject with me.
