Teaching & Mentorship

• Deliver clear, engaging classes on Python + core ML/AI (data prep, classical ML, intro deep learning, evaluation, deployment basics).
• Teachlarge mixed-experience cohortswith strong classroom management.
• Run hands-on labs (Jupyter/Colab), design assignments/quizzes, grade with rubrics, and host office hours/capstone mentoring.
• Lead early-morning live sessions from 05:00 IST for global cohorts (remote), plus on-site sessions later in the day.

Research & Impact

• Lead applied AI/ML projects (e.g., CV, NLP/LLMs & RAG, tabular ML, forecasting), publish in reputable venues, and open-source code/data where possible.
• Build small research teams (students + engineers), manage IRB/ethics when needed, and drive industry collaborations and PoCs.

Programme & Community

• Co-own curriculum roadmaps; keep examples industry-relevant.

• MLOps familiarity: versioning (Git/GitHub), experiment tracking (e.g., W&B), packaging (Docker), simple APIs (FastAPI/Streamlit).
• A track record of publications / open-source repos / datasets; prior student supervision (MTech/BTech/MSc) or corporate L&D.
• Comfortable on Linux/cloud notebooks; basic SQL; data ethics/privacy awareness.

Success metrics

• Learner outcomes (attendance, completion, assessment deltas, CSAT/NPS).
• Research outputs (papers, code/data releases, demos/PoCs, grants/industry wins).
