- Pattern classification using Artificial Neural Networks segmentation based image compression
- Image restoration using Artificial Neural Networks adaptive techniques
- Image compression using Artificial Neural Networks computer vision
- Image format detection using Information Theory
- Participated in several course projects (including implementing several image encoding, image restoration, and pattern classification projects using C/C++)
- Co-supervised a team of three students working on their fourth-year project: Image Compression Using Artificial Neural Networks
- Published several research papers
Computer Systems Administrator for the PAMI Lab, (part time) Systems Design Engineering Department, University of Waterloo, January 1993 to April 1997:
- Administered and maintained all the computing equipment of the PAMI research group. These equipments include SUN Ultra, SUN Sparc, Silicon Graphics, Vax, and PC machines
- Provided general support for staff and students on issues related to Unix and C/C++ programming
System Administration Consultant, (part time) AT&T Global information Solutions, Waterloo, November 1995:
