Background

I am an Adjunct Professor here in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia . I also currently the CEO & CTO of Singulos Research . At Singulos I work primarily on computer vision and AI for Augemented Reality. Prior to founding Singulos, I was Senior Director, Technology at Qualcomm . And before that CEO at Invionics.

My first startup was Veridae Systems, a UBC spin-off based on my Ph.D. research that built EDA tools and hardware IP to create embedded instruments in ASICs and FPGAs. This startup was sold to Tektronix where I became Chief Architect of the Embedded Instrumentation Group. This business has since been sold to Mentor Graphics and the main product, Certus, remains in use with leading semidconductor companies worldwide.

I completed my PhD in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia . I worked in the SoC Research Lab and my research advisor was Dr. Steve Wilton . In the past I have worked at Altera's Toronto Technology Centre and was a part-time consultant for Teradici Corporation here in Vancouver.

Prior to beginning my PhD, I worked at PMC-Sierra in both the Saskatoon and Burnaby Design Centres, doing digital design and project management. My undergraduate degree is in Electrical Engineering which I recieved from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta.
