DrMafruha Hossain

My teaching philosophy is grounded in inclusive, engaging and authentic learning experiences that encourage students to think critically, apply their knowledge and develop confidence in their professional capabilities.

With over 15 years of higher education teaching experience, I have taught and coordinated units across cybersecurity, programming, software engineering, IT project management and professional practice.

At the University of Sydney, I coordinate large postgraduate computing units, supporting diverse cohorts of approximately 800 students per unit. My teaching incorporates industry-connected learning, interactive oral assessments, collaborative projects, structured feedback and student-centred learning activities.

I am particularly interested in curriculum innovation, assessment design and the responsible integration of generative AI into higher education.

My contributions to teaching have been recognised through the University of Sydney's 2025 Dean's Award for Emerging Teaching and a School of Computer Science recognition award.
