Research Interests

In September 2008, I joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Coordinated Science Laboratory at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign as a PhD student. My supervisor is Professor Tamer Basar. I completed my Master's degree and Bachelor's degree from University of Toronto and McGill University, respectively and both in electrical engineering. My research interests are computer security, computer system analysis and evaluation, optimization, game theory, machine learning, control of networks, robust control, photonic crystals, optical networks, control of nano-/micro-structures, applied electromagnetism, numerical methods .
