I am an associate 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, security, reliability, and sustainability aspects of networked and distributed systems. I am also interested in applying data-driven approaches (AI/ML/RL) 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). I won the ACM/IEEE N2Women Rising Star Award 2021 and Digital Nova Scotia's Thinking Forward Award 2022.

I am not hiring any new students at this moment.

Current Research Project

  • My current research falls into three sub-projects: network programmability, systems for AI and Big Data, and 5G/6G. These projects focus on developing appropriate high-performance, reliable, secure, or sustainable systems. In the first project, I focus on developing systems for emerging IoT applications (e.g., smart homes), whereas the second one develops distributed and networked systems targeting mission-critical applications (e.g., maritime, fast responder). The last project focuses on root cause analysis, security, and sustainability aspects in 5G/6G RAN. Please check Projects for further details.
