Professor Nuzen brings over 25 years of expertise in data collection, mining, and analysis, cultivated during his tenure at the U.S. Navy Research Facility in Pt. Loma. He is proficient in programming languages such as Java, Python, and C++, which he applied to develop advanced expert systems in the Navy's weather prediction domain. In academia, Professor Nuzen designs classroom environments to align with industry needs and job market demands. He incorporates the latest in-demand skills and tools, including Scrum and Agile software development methodologies, and stays current with emerging technologies such as Ollama Artificial Intelligence Large Language Model. To enhance student engagement and cognitive development, Professor Nuzen employs a flipped-classroom approach. This method emphasizes Socratic learning, teamwork, and collaboration by pairing students with diverse programming skill levels for weekly in-class software programming exercises. These sessions promote collaboration, knowledge sharing, and peer-to-peer learning. He also prepares students for real-world job scenarios by integrating mock interview questions and whiteboard exercises, simulating technical interviews to strengthen students' communication, problem-solving, and presentation skills. In advanced courses like CSIS 294, Professor Nuzen replaces traditional final exams with team-based final projects. Students are organized into groups of 3?5 and work collaboratively to solve technical challenges. This approach not only enhances their technical proficiency but also helps them develop teamwork and interpersonal skills by engaging with peers from diverse backgrounds. This project-based learning mirrors real-world practices, ensuring students are well-equipped to succeed in their professional careers. Professor Nuzen also operates a non-profit 501-c-3 to train teachers on how to teach STEM. During his spare time, he mentors middle school FTC robot teams, and high school Cyber teams to compete in CyberPatriot.
