About Me
Short Bio
I am an associate teaching professor at Northeastern University's Khoury College of Computer Sciences (Vancouver campus) and have served as the Master's in Artificial Intelligence Program Director since 2025. I hold a Master's degree in electrical engineering from McMaster University and a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from the University of British Columbia. I bring twenty years of experience in both industry and academia to my role.
My research focuses on image processing and computer vision, with multiple publications on topics such as blind signal separation, digital image and video watermarking, and 3D quality of experience. I am currently exploring how to support student learning by leveraging generative AI technology.
I have taught at ITESO University and CINVESTAV in Mexico, the University of British Columbia and Langara College in Canada. I also worked as a research engineer at various Vancouver start-ups, developing computer vision algorithms and machine learning models for applications in online video optimization, custom footwear design, and agricultural technology.
Since 2016, I have volunteered as a mentor to newcomers in the tech sector through the Immigrant Employment Council of BC (IEC-BC).
