My research focuses on cloud/edge, human-centric, and IoT systems, including:

1. Cloud/Edge/AI Systems
• Resource allocation, task scheduling algorithms, service migration, and data placement.
• Energy optimization in data centers, efficient cooling, demand response, and renewable energy.
2. Web Services & Data Management
• Privacy-enhanced databases, policy-based access control, and secure data processing.
• Design, development and deployment of web services; microservices and serverless architectures.
3. Human-Centric Computing & Intelligent Systems
• Multi-agent systems,HCI, Brain-Computer Interface, EMG, and biosignal processing.
• Human-in-the-loop, Human-Robot Interaction, UAVs, and Generative AI.
4. Network Protocols, Security, Forensics
• Secure network protocols, threat detection, anomaly detection, and mitigation of DDoS attacks.
• IoT forensics, digital evidence recovery, and reconstructing IoT-related events.

I am faculty member in the Department of Computer Science, School of Engineering and Technology at the University of Washington (Tacoma). Previously, I worked in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. I completed my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at the University of Guelph. My doctoral dissertation received an honorable mention from the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) (2009). Previously, I completed my Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering both from Florida International University.
