Research Activities

My thesis research topic is distributed machine learning. Multi-agent systems are introduced in such distributed learning to enable cooperative behaviours of the agents. As a result, the system benefit a lot from the

The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.
synergy effect: more efficiency and better results. For more detail, check the Thesis Research page.

In the courses I have taken, research is also an intergrated part. I had various course projects, including data mining, multi-agent systems (midterm, project), and genetic programming. The detailed information can be found at the Course Projects page

Teaching Activities

I have been teaching the labs of CPSC 203 — Introduction to Computers for three semesters since I began my studies in the University of Calgary. I received good assessment from the course instructor and the students.

The teaching resources for my labs can be found in the Teaching section of this site.
