 I am an Associate
Professor of Engineering in Software Systems Engineering Program at the University of Regina and the
director of the Intelligent Media Networking Lab” (IMNL). At IMNL, we work on the broad area of
large-scale distributed processing and in particular network media
communication and Peer-to-Peer networking. We are particularly interested
in strategies for optimal delivery of degradable signals (e.g., multimedia
contents) in large-scale networks, as well as scalable Peer-to-Peer
systems. We also have ongoing projects in the areas of image and video
analysis for large-scale industrial applications. A rather detailed
description of our projects can be found here.
Please check out the publication
page for examples of our work.
