research

My major areas of interest include logic synthesis, representations and classification of Boolean functions, particularly decision diagrams (DDs) and spectral transforms. I am also interested in reversible logic, and MVL.

I am also working on a project involving an examination of how people use programming languages, and whether there exist particular styles that can be identified and if these styles are better or worse for particular types of applications, groups, or projects.

Other areas of interest include women in engineering and computer science and education in computer science and engineering.

comments

PROSPECTIVE GRADUATE STUDENTS: I am going on study leave in January 2012 so I will not be taking any graduate students during this time. I will consider students willing to begin their studies in Sept. 2012. See below for my areas of interest; all graduate and summer students whom I hire are expected to work in one of these areas.

Students who are interested should have good written and spoken English skills, and should be prepared to work independently. You must be self-motivated and ready to work hard, and your cover letter shuuld demonstrate this. If you are interested and think that you have the necessary background for working with me, please email me with a formal cover letter, your transcript and your resume or CV. I will require, before I offer you a position, a draft of your research proposal as well as three reference letters.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: On occasion I hire undergraduate students to help me out with research projects. Your chance of being hired is much higher if you have applied for funding such as NSERC or a Chinook award. Deadlines for these are generally early JANUARY. This is a great way to see if you might want to do graduate studies before making a big committment to it. Come and see me if you are interested. You can also receive Applied Studies credit for the work in some cases.

Other undergraduate opportunities include Independent Studies courses in my areas of interest or working as a volunteer or employee for LUMACS.
