About Me
Research
My research is focused on next generation wireless networks. In particular, I am interested in getting many existing wireless access technologies to work together. For example, consider a mobile phone equipped with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G/4G/LTE radios. The goal is to be able to use all of these radios simulataneously for increased capacity. Furthermore, it should be possible to seamlessly roam between technologies, similar to how mobile users can roam from cell tower to cell tower giving increased coverage. This process should be automatic and seamless - invisible to the user. However, chosing the best access technology at a given time is not an easy problem to solve. There are competing interests from the users who which to have the best connection at the lowest price, and the provide who aims to provide good service at a low cost, while keeping the networks highly utilized. Finding a balance between these competing interests is a problem I am currently trying to solve. I am completing my Ph.D. in Applied Computing from University of Guelph under Dr. Stefan Kremer.
I have also recently joined a research project simulating vehicle traffic and animals crossing highways with Prof. Anna T. Lawniczak and Bruno Di Stefano at the University of Guelph.
Previously, I have worked with Dr. Nidal Nasser in the WiNG Lab at the University of Guelph, Dr. Mieso Denko in the PerWin Lab at the University of Guelph and Dr. Hongbing Fan at Wilfrid Laurier University. I have worked in the past on scheduling and resource allocation problems in wireless networks, and on the placement of components in FPGAs.
