In 2002, I was awarded my PhD from the School of Computer Science at Carleton University with a focus on computational geometry. After graduating, I taught at Carleton University as an Instructor in Computer Science for a variety of courses including: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming, Introduction to Programming in C, Web-Application Design, as well as, User Interface Architecture.
Previous to focusing my interests in Computer Science and the resulting degrees, I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from McMaster University. With that degree, I worked as a Manufacturing and Test Engineer in the Automotive Industry.
In early 2006, I was welcomed as a new Assistant Professor in the University of Manitoba Department of Biosystems Engineering. My current research interests range from Applications of Computational Geometry and Machine Learning to Biological Imaging, with focus on Biological / BioMedical Computing. These interests converge in two active research projects involving anatomically and mechanically accurate modelling of bones and hyperspectral imaging data analysis.
