Short biography
I am a researcher and developer with expertise in the areas of image processing, remote sensing and computer vision. I received BASc and MASc degrees in Systems Design Engineering from the University of Waterloo in 2007 and 2009, respectively. After obtaining my MASc, I continued working with the VIP lab as a research associate from 2009 - 2010. Since 2010, I have been working in industry on image processing techniques for medical and remote sensing applications.
