About us
Welcome to database research at UOIT.
I'm a faculty member at UOIT. My research interest is
database and information systems. Most of my research is done with
collaborations with colleagues and students I supervise.
Problems we have tackled in the past are: keyword search queries,
analysis of video streams, spatio-temporal queries of RFID sensor data.

Projects
Interacting with Database & Information Systems
We are excited about our research project in which we study
data access from the human user's perspective. We wish to incorporate the
recent advances in HCI hardware (such as touch screens, mobile devices and
camera based gesture recognizers) into an interactive database query system.
Database applied to Computer Vision
In collaboration with Dr. Faisal Qureshi at UOIT, we are exploring applying
database technology to problems in computer vision. The two problems with
have been tackling are analysis of biological video sequences and
distributed traffic camera networks.
From unstructured to structured, from queries to data
In this project, we explored keyword queries against
various types of databases, including dictionaries, relational databases,
and text streams.
