Note: I do not offer any teaching assistant or grading assistant jobs; please do not contact me for such purposes.

If you are interested in working with me, you are welcome to contact me (students in the Dept. of Mathematics get the priority), but please check my research interests before doing so.
I can suggest you some topics related to signal/image processing, or if you have a topic in mind, do not hesitate to share it with me.
