Teaching and Research Interests

As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the North Carolina A&T State University, I am responsible for teaching introductory and upper level classes related to Computer Engineering. Also, I am conducting research in the area of Pervasive Systems for Education Enhancement (P-SEE), which involves the  development of hi-tech computing and information systems that attempt to enhance education processes such that the technology is embedded into a normal teaching or learning routine in a seamless, or near-seamless, manner.
