    Projects, Methodology, Results, and Blogs. Privacy and Security in Online Social Media @ IIITH

    Continuing the tradition of capturing project ideas, methodologies, results, and artefacts from the course in a blog, here are the projects from the Fall 2018 edition of PSOSM @ IIITH. For Fall 2017 edition @ IIITD, please visit here. I taught TM18004: Privacy and Security in Online Social Media in Fall 2018 semester. This is my 1st full time teaching experience at IIIT Hyderabad.

    Ideas, Projects, Methodology, Results, Blogs, and Videos. Privacy and Security in Online Social Media.

    I taught CSE648: Privacy and Security in Online Social Media in Fall 2017 semester. We had 108 students taking the course for credits, and 5 Teaching Assistants.

    Teaching DHCS has always been fun and exciting!

All these guest lectures…
