Previous Teaching

I obtained my B.Sc. (Honours) in Astrophysics (1990), M.Sc. in Physics (General Relativity; 1993), M.Sc. in Computer Science (Numerical Analysis; 1994), and Ph.D. in Computer Science (Computational Geometry; 1999) all from Queen's University at Kingston. Then I was an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science, Queen's University in 1999/2000. I held a PostDoctoral position at the School of Computer Science at McGill University in 2000/2001. In the summer of 2001, I joined the the Department of Computer Science at Concordia University as an Assistant Professor. Currently, I am an Associate Professor at Concordia University.
