Research Interests:
My research revolves around understanding different aspects of communication in
parallel and distributed systems. I am interested in computer networks and
parallel computing. Very recently, I have become very interested in several
aspects of Bioinformatics.

For non-Canadian students seeking summer internships:
I get a lot of email from students seeking summer internships, too many for me to respond to each. From past experience and also due to the problems involved, I do NOT accept international students. If you are willing to come to York for graduate study and can provide some commitment to this effect, we can discuss the internship issue as an added perk.
