Teaching

I am lecturer in computer sciences at Polytech’Montpellier (French engineering school part of University of Montpellier 2) since September 2009. My main teaching activities concerned transversal computer science, which means to teach computer science bases to future engineers that are not specialized in computer science. I also teach algorithmic, program languages, Logic and Unix System to computer science public at different university degrees.
