My main research interest is
oriented around the area of optimization, planning, design, and
reliability analysis of the core transport network. It is specifically
focused on the development and analysis of restoration-related
mechanisms that exhibit properties better suited to industry
requirements, and new techniques for optimal design and analysis of
network architectures that embody such restoration mechanisms. Implementation
of design principles from this work will lead to more reliable
communication systems that are less vulnerable to equipment failures or
attacks, easier for operators to plan and manage, and more efficient
and cost effective for service providers such as TELUS or public
network infrastructures such as the Alberta SuperNet.
The goal is to develop systems that are robust and reliable, can react
almost organically by autonomously reconfiguring various resources and
even its very architecture to accommodate unforeseen changes or events,
and can integrate new resources into its operation as needed and
available.
I also have emerging research
activities in railway operations and optimization, as well as
optimization modeling in general.
