Moiz Penkar came to New Zealand in 2011 as a PhD student.  It was a big challenge to reach this milestone (spanning almost 2 years).  The next few years turned out to be even more difficult.  He still ended up submitting his thesis in three years of starting and successfully defending it, soon after.  His research on clicking links using eye gaze has been patented and is being further developed for commercialisation at the University of Auckland.

As a consequence of managing this challenge, he ended up learning a few tricks—some by choice, others by accident.  He now shares the lessons and experience with others to help them in not just managing their journey into the unknown but also enjoying it.

The courses Moiz has taught include:

• Human-Computer Interaction
  
  


• Intro to Software Development
  
  


• Multimedia Design and Development
  
  


• Operations Research
