My current area of research focuses on
an examination of how people use programming languages, and relating
sociolingguistics characteristics to differences in the use of programming
languages. I am interested in whether
particular styles can be identified and if these styles relate
to software quality; in addition, I'm interested in whether these styles
affect how people perceive the quality of the software.
My previous areas of interest include logic synthesis, representations
and classification of Boolean
functions, particularly decision diagrams (DDs) and spectral
transforms. My most recent projects have focused on
logic synthesis, testing, and
function representations for reversible logic.
Other areas of interest include
women in engineering and computer science
and education in computer science and engineering.

In my current administrative roles I do not have regularly assigned
teaching activities. I do, however, occasionally supervise
Independent Studies. Please email me if you have a proposal that
fits within my current research.

PROSPECTIVE GRADUATE STUDENTS:
See above below for my current 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 EXCELLENT 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 should
demonstrate this. If you are looking for funding then
the University of Lethbridge has an excellent funding
package available to students with high GPAs (3.5 or
higher).
If you are interested and think that you have the
necessary background for working with me, please
email me with:
- a cover letter
- your transcript
- your resume or CV
- a sample of your previous work, e.g. a paper,
report, or final project that you might have worked on.
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. Email me if you are
interested. You can also receive Applied Studies credit for
the work in some cases.
