My recent research projects can be described as (scientific computing) artificial intelligence algorithms and their applications (medical datasets including image datasets, climate change/wildfire datasets, financial datasets, engineering, and optimization problems). I finished my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at the University of Maryland (1996-2000). I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Faculty of Management, McGill Univ. (2000-2002). I am a tenured full professor the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Thompson Rivers University (TRU), Kamloops, BC, Canada. Also, I am an Affiliate Researcher at the Waterloo Institute for Complexity and Innovation, University of Waterloo, ON, Canada. I have a strong record of post-secondary teaching, and supervising students and postdoctoral fellows. Also, I have maintained my NSERC discovery for ~20 years and started to apply grants to CIHR and Michael Smith Foundation (MSF), where I apply swarm intelligent algorithms (SIAs) with global optimization, industrial engineering, operations research, and data mining.
