Education
- B.Eng (Honors) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Canterbury,
- M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Interests / Specialization
My graduate research focused on applied probability, with an emphasis on network traffic measurement and sequential decision making. In my postdoctoral work, I shifted toward optimization, mathematical modeling, and software development in the field of medical imaging. Broadly, I鈥檓 interested in applied mathematics, algorithm design, and computational methods for solving problems in computer science and engineering. More recently, my interests have expanded into machine learning.
