Current
research interests include the following areas:
* Parallel
and Distributed Intelligent Systems: Semantic matching, semantic search and
semantic matchmaking with applications in search engines, e-business. e-Health, e-Learning (funded by NSERC
Canada and New Brunswick Innovation
Foundation).
* Bioinformatics:
Mapping of transcription factors and gene regulatory networks from a model to a
non-model organism (a part of this work was funded by Genome Canada and New Brunswick Innovation Foundation).
* Parallel/
Distributed Computing: Semantic Matching and Natural Language Processing
with Cluster and GPGPU computing, Big Data Computing.
* Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive
Computing
Past research work
spans many other areas of computer science including computer architecture,
real-time process control systems, fault-tolerant computing, transliteration,
3-D computer graphics, fractals, and multi-lingual systems. Founded the first
research group in computer science at the University of New Brunswick in 1986
and also Ied the Canadian
Foundation for Innovation (CFI) project on the Advanced Computational
Research Laboratory (ACRL) and established
the laboratory in 2000.
Carried out
research work with researchers from the National Research Council, Ottawa;
University of Akron, Ohio; Center for Development
of Advanced Computing, India; University
of Illinois, Urbana; University of
Poona, India, University of Southern
California, Los Angeles, Georgia State
University, Atlanta, USA and University of New Brunswick.
Authored more
than 160 research papers in journals and
