About
item1

I am a lecturer and the computer science faculty advisor at the Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Previously, I was an undergraduate at the University of Tennessee (BS 2001) and a graduate student at the University of Washington (MS 2003). I remain a Ph.D. candidate at UW and am completing a thesis entitled "Compiler Optimizations for the WaveScalar Dataflow Architecture".

My primary interest is computer science education with a special focus on introductory education. I teach classes ranging from first year computer science (CS1 and CS2) to computer organization, operating systems, and compilers. I also supervise research collaborations with four to six undergraduates each term, usually in work study positions or as independent study courses. Since my background is in compilers for highly parallel, non-traditional computer architectures, most of my current research projects have a systems flavor, though I am also heavily involved in curriculum design and the use (or mis-use) of anonymity in classroom settings.
