My research is in the area of image analysis for remote sensing. During my graduate studies in Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo, I worked on ways to improve the effectiveness of using computers to analyze satellite images. This helps automate the process of getting useful information out of satellite imagery, which is essential now that there is so much satellite data that manual interpretation becomes very time consuming and labor intensive. Example application areas include sea ice monitoring for both scientists (to help understand global climate) and ship operators (for safer navigation) and also crop and agricultural monitoring.
During my work terms at the Hospital for Sick Children, I worked in the area of MRI imaging as a research student, where I had the opportunity to be thoroughly confused by K-space. I have since become enlightened enough to confuse other people about it.

I have also written some tutorials that should be useful for researchers and academics that use MATLAB and LaTeX.
