"In Mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them."-- Johann Von Neumann

Effective from July 2007, I have joined the University of Saskatchewan as an Assistant Professor. My website has changed, and the new address is here. My personal webpage can de accessed here.

It was my great pleasure to work with my supervisors, Dr. Jullien and Dr. Dimitrov, from whom I have learnt the most. The knowledge, that they have transferred, helps me in every step of my current profession. I am also grateful to all the members of ATIPS Lab for their cooperation throughout. I miss them all along.

Date: October 1, 2007

I have been working in the ATiPS Laboratory since January 2002. My supervisors are Dr. Graham Jullien and Dr. Vassil Dimitrov. My Ph.D. research focuses on the FPGA implementation of the Discrete Cosine Transform using 2-Dimensional Algebraic Integers. I am also investigating the possible use of 2-D algebraic integer to 256-point FFT, Radon and Ridgelet Transform.

My M.Sc. thesis was focused on the implementation of the Daubechies Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWTs) based on Algebraic Integer encoding of the wavelet coefficients. The thesis also develops an architecture, suitable for future VLSI implementation, for four and six-coefficient Daubechies wavelet filters (DAUB4 and DAUB6).
