Research

I lead a research group composed of 1 postdoctoral research fellow (Q. Guo), a research assistant (M. Akmal) and three PhD student (M. Garba, M. Goli, and J.B. Okerinde).

Our research touches upon different areas including parallel computing, multi-core technologies, cloud/grid computing and heuristics for distributed computing. We are predominantly employing generic parallel patterns to the solution of domain specific problems in science and industry.
