Nate Derbinsky is Assistant Dean for Teaching Faculty at Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. He is part of the Center’s technical assistance capacity.
Teaching is his passion, and developing and delivering quality computer science education content is his mission. He has been involved in teaching computer science for nearly 20 years, including at the K-12, college, and graduate levels. He constantly seeks new ways to make complex computer science topics accessible and help an increasingly diverse group understand how fun and transformative computing can be. He has recently dipped his toes in the waters of computer science education, investigating effective methods of service learning and grad-school preparation.
Derbinsky has a strong personal interest in applying technologies that scale to solve important problems in the world. In 1998 he founded BitX Solutions, a small corporation based in North Carolina. For 11 years, Derbinsky led software-development teams to track evidence for law-enforcement agencies, manage supplies at food banks, provide diagnostic training for neurology interns, and supply comprehensive web-based fellowship/scholarship advising for thousands of students and faculty members at two universities. Derbinsky has also served as a volunteer teacher and technology consultant for Powering Potential, an NGO that uses technology to enhance educational opportunities and outcomes in rural Tanzania.
Derbinsky’s research interests combine artificial intelligence, optimization, machine learning, and database systems.
