I received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Ryerson University, where I was advised by Dr. Neil Bruce and Dr. Kosta Derpanis in the Computer Vision Lab. Previously, I received my MSc in Computer Science from the University of Manitoba, where I was advised by Dr. Yang Wang and Dr. Neil Bruce in the Computer Vision Lab. My research interests lie in computer vision and deep learning.
