Scholarly Activities

I have been involved in the organization of more than 20 conferences and workshops. Most of them are listed below. For PASCO 2010, PASCO 2007 and TC 2006, I served as General Chair. I also serve regularly as a reviewer for several journals and conferences in my research area.

The list below includes mini-courses given (past or future) at foreign research institutions. More details can be found in my CV.

This list also links to events that I have organized as Chair of the Graduate School of the Computer Science Department at the University of Western Ontario.
