    Teaching

    Fall 2009: SE/CS 4TE3, CES 723/722 Another related book.

    Winter 2010: CAS 781: Topics (Mobile UI Design)

    An advanced look at User Interface issues associated with mobile devices, e.g. smart phones. This course is for graduate students who have already taken a course in human-computer interaction and already know how to program non-trivial applications on at least one mobile device. Through literature review, and experimentation, students will learn how the advent of mobile devices is changing our approach to human-computer interactions, and will practice a quantitative approach to evaluating the effectiveness of user interface concepts.

    Research Interests

  • Image and Signal Processing
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Optimization
  • Mathematical and Statistical Modeling
  • Parallel Computation
  • McMaster Workshop on Magnetic Resonance Image Reconstruction
  • I am currently looking for students who know Haskell. If you are interested in applying your knowledge to higher assurance, high performance scientific computing (like medical image reconstruction), please email me. Given the large number of applications I receive, I will not read email with attached resumes or letters. I will only open attached published articles, preprints or technical reports. I will not respond to generic emails.

    Real-time SSFP Teardrop
    heart By optimizing the read-out portion of a SSFP acquisition, we were able to increase the sampling duty-cycle (the percentage of the acquisition devoted to collecting data). This leads to higher frame rates for and enables real-time cardiac imaging with equipment otherwise incapable of it.
