I received my Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) degree with first-class honour from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba in 2002.  I earned my M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto in 2004 and 2008, respectively.  Starting from May 2008, I joined the  Department of Computer Science at the University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta, as an Assistant Professor.

For my Ph.D. dissertation, I researched practical network coding applications and Peer-to-Peer multimedia streaming systems.  I was a member of Prof. Baochun Li’s iQua research group at U of T.

My research interests are in the design and development of overlay networking systems and distributed algorithms, as well as practical applications of network coding, for improving the Quality of Service and performance of general communication sessions.  In particular, I am interested in designing and building overlay and Peer-to-Peer protocols that work well in reality.
