Hi, I'm David Lu and this is my homepage at PSU. Here's a picture of my cats, Luna and Ragnar, to make your day.
I am currently a CS instructor in the computer science department at Portland State University and a senior threat researcher at Qualys. Previously I was a security researcher at Tripwire.
In a past life, I was a PhD candidate and adjunct instructor in philosophy at Syracuse University.
Teaching
I enjoy teaching, especially those areas that I want to learn more about. Sometimes the best way to learn something is to figure out how you would teach it to someone else.
Below is a list of classes for which I was the primary instructor in reverse chronological order unless otherwise listed. I've taught all of these classes more than once. Links to course webpages where available (though they may be dated).
At Portland State University:
- CS 350 Algorithms and Complexity
- CS 305 Social, Ethical, and Legal Implications of Computing
- New Beginnings Accelerated Graduate Prep
- Intro to Programming and Discrete Math at Changchun Institute of Technology (covering intro to programming in C++/Python, data structures, discrete math, and formal logic as a guest lecturer)
- CS 251 Discrete Structures II
- CS 162 Introduction to Computer Science
At Syracuse University:
- PHI 251 Logic
- PHI 192 Introduction to Moral Theory
- PHI 197 Human Nature
- PHI 171 Critical Thinking
- PHI 107 Theories of Knowledge and Reality
