Gustav Sundqvist

Background

Gustav Sundqvist is on the faculty of the Department of Computer Science and holds a master’s degree from the University of Wesconsin–Madison, along with professional licensure and industry certifications. Before Porter, Gustav taught secondary computer science before graduate school.

Gustav brings that practice into the classroom, teaching from real cases and current standards in computer security and algorithms.

Areas of expertise

• Computer security
• Algorithms
• Applied practice and industry partnerships

Teaching

Gustav regularly teaches courses in Computer Science, Software Engineering. Specific sections and syllabi are listed in the class schedule each term.

Class time is built around cases and real deliverables. Students work to professional standards, present to a critique or a client-style panel, and revise. Gustav keeps the connection to current practice explicit.

Advising and office hours

Gustav advises students in the Computer Science programs and holds weekly office hours during the fall and spring terms, posted on the office door and in the course pages. Prospective students are welcome to email to arrange a visit or a call.

Advising conversations usually cover course sequencing, whether to add a minor or a concentration, and how classroom work connects to internships, research, or graduate study. Students who are undecided are welcome; part of the job is helping them narrow things down.

Recent and representative work

Gustav stays active in practice alongside teaching, through consulting, standards work, and applied projects in computer security and algorithms. Representative items:

• An applied project in computer security with an industry or community partner.
• A workshop or short course on algorithms for practitioners in the region.
• Service on a standards, licensing, or advisory body related to computer security.

Titles and venues here are illustrative. UW–Porter Falls is fictional; Gustav has no real publication record.

Get in touch

The fastest way to reach Gustav is email (gsundqvist@uwporterfalls.edu); messages during the fall and spring terms are usually answered within two business days. Prospective students and families can ask the Computer Science department office to set up a call, a class visit, or a meeting during an admitted-student day.
