I am an assistant professor in the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University, Halifax,  where, I lead Programmable and Intelligent Networking (PINet) research group. PINet members work in the areas of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and the Internet of Things (IoT) focused on the performance, measurement, security, and reliability aspects of wired and wireless networked systems. I am also interested in applying data-driven approaches (ML/DL/RL/FL) to solve practical and relevant problems.
I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta. Subsequently, I held an NSERC post-doctoral position at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, Riverside, before joining Dalhousie University. I am actively involved in the organizing committee of IEEE ICNP, IEEE CloudNet, IEEE CNSM, IEEE NetSoft, ACM CAN-CWiC, and IFIP Networking. Furthermore, I served as an area editor of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology and am currently an Editor of the Internet of Things Series of the IEEE Communications Magazine (ComMag).

At this moment, I am not hiring any graduate students. But I am looking for a post-doc fellow with experience in cellular and wireless communications.
