Postdoctoral Research Fellowship

I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of British Columbia from June 2007 to December 2010. In March 2008, I was awarded a 2 year NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship.
About half of my time was spent working with Dr. Konstantin (Kosta) Beznosov, in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The other half was spent working with Dr. Kellogg (Kelly) Booth in the Department of Computer Science.

Education

I completed a post-Bachelor's PhD in 2007 at the Faculty of Computer Science, Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I was a member of the EDGE Lab, working with Dr. Kori Inkpen, who is now at Microsoft Research.
