The course is convened and lectured by A/Prof Alex Potanin while the assignments were initially developed by Dr Melina Vidoni with a lot of help from Matthew Chen (assignments and coordination), Abhaas Goyal (tutorials), and Brent Schuetze (gitlab submissions).
Alex will have the following office hours during weeks 2-6, and 7 of the Semester 2. There are no office hours due to CSIT roof repairs from week 8 onwards! You can also arrange to see Alex on Zoom by booking via the following link: tinyUrl.com/meetAlexPotanin.

Our Wonderful Tutors:
Qianhui Wang#
Hi, my name is Qianhui, and I’m in my third year of a computer science degree. I took this course last year and I enjoyed the group assignments back then which taught me lots of useful knowledge about practical software development. This year we will be having lots of new and exciting contents, so it will also be a learning process for me to work as a tutor with you. Hope I can help you through this course and develop a passion for software engineering!
Haiqi Dong#
Hello everyone, my name is Haiqi. I am a PhD student studying computer science. I took this course in my first semester at ANU during my Master’s degree. I look forward to getting to know you in the class and giving you my best help!
Abhaas Goyal#
Hi, I’m Abhaas and I go by Aby. I am currently in my Honours year studying Advanced Computing and majoring in Systems and Architecture. I enjoy tinkering with a system’s hardware/software interface, learning about various paradigms of programming languages and practising algorithms. I hope to share my experience so that you are empowered with the knowledge to work efficiently in software engineering teams and build/manage large-scale systems. Outside of uni, I like to go cycling, play badminton and read philosophy.
Sai Sudhiksha#
Hello, I’m Sai and I’m in my fourth year of Advanced Computing Honours with Theoretical Comp Sci as my specialisation. I have been teaching since the previous semester. I had a lot of fun while taking this course and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I look forward to meeting all of you!
Cristina Munoz#
Hi everyone! My name is Cristina and I’m in my third year of my Science and Information Technology degree.

Looking forward to meeting and getting to know you all :)
Bogong (Will) Wang#
Hi everyone, I’m Bogong (feel free to call me Will) and I’m in the third year of Advanced Computing. My future orientation will be AI & ML. I took this course last year and I found I really enjoyed discovering the software engineering processes and utilising them in my personal project. Outside of the course, I’m fascinated with UI design and mobile APP development. I hope you guys not only gain loads of fun from this course but also enjoy real-world software engineering! I will put my best effort to lead and help you guys!
Matthew Chen#
Hi everyone! I’m Matthew (Matt), I’m a third-year computer science student. I took this course last year and enjoyed learning about the ins and outs of software development. The course has undergone quite a significant overhaul since then, so I’m excited to see how it goes! I’m always working on various projects (electronics, cyber sec, programming) so always keen for a chat about anything even remotely related. I also love gaming, and I am a huge Marvel and Star Wars fan. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and hopefully you enjoy this course as much as I did!
