My general research interests are interdisciplinary, and straddle the disciplines of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. Currently, I have particular interest in developing algorithmic solutions to optimization problems that arise in both FPGA and VLSI design flows. My other active areas of research include...
My current research explores the role of rural governance, place-based development, philanthropy, rural policy, community economic development, and rural immigration and mobility.
My research interests include parent-child relationships, child development, early childhood education and care, child and family well-being, family relations, various aspects of work-life integration (as well as school-life or school-work-life integration), and the experiences of non-traditional students in formal post-secondary education, in particular mature students and student parents.
My research improves life by assessing workplace tasks and devices for end user injury potential. Once the risk is understood, new methods and devices are designed to minimize the potential of developing injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
