Supervision

PhD Supervision

I am currently supervising and co-supervising 3 PhD and 1 EngD students.

The research topics are:

Sairahul Chalamalasetti: development of a novel soft processor array for high-level FPGA programming (co-supervision with Prof. Martin Margala at UMass Lowell)
Haitham Fattah: Automatic parallelization of C++ applications using FPGAs (2nd supervisor Dr P Cockshott; sponsor Codeplay Ltd)
Faiz ul Hassan: Effects of decanano technologies on NoC design and architecture (co-supervisor with Dr F Rodriguez, E&EE Dept)
Sara Omar Alhumoud: Dynamic Counter-Based broadcast for Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (2nd supervisor; 1st supervisor Dr L Mckenzie) (Y3)

More information on this PhD research can be found on my research page.

MSc Supervision
