Research Statement

Internet-of-Things (IoT) has significantly evolved over the past couple of years from a simple connected fridge to smart and collaborative spaces. IoT devices and spaces generate data streams capturing data from different modalities (i.e., smartphones, ubiquitously deployed sensor, social media feeds etc.) assisting service providers to provision contextually informed services. Great advancements have been made in sensor technology in terms of miniaturization and ability to capture various measurements, for instance audio/video, air quality, pressure, radiations to name a few ... 

   
      

Teaching Philosophy

I believe success as a teacher is attributed to three cohesive parameters. First, one must have a deep understanding of the subject (Metzler et al., 2012). This quality is very important for the credibility of the knowledge being conveyed to the students and to earn their respect and motivate them to listen. Second, a teacher must have a passion for the subject; it is important to learn state-of-the-art and reflect them in one's teaching material, rather than delivering decade old material that has lost its efficacy in practical world (Supovitz et al., 2000). Finally, a teacher must understand the cohort; formulate the course material according to their level, considering the theoretical and practical importance of the content being taught (King, 2002) ...
