and 1998, the Teaching Excellence Awards from the School in 1999 and 2002,
and more recently, the NUS Annual Teaching Excellence Award for 03/04 and
04/05.
His research interests include parallel and distributed computing, scheduling
and load balancing, declarative multiprocessors, parallel and distributed
(interactive) simulation and High Level Architecture. He is a member of
the Modelling and Simulation
Group which is part of the Computer
Systems Lab.
For the new academic year 2007/08, he will be taking Programming
Methodology (CS1101y) in the 1st semester, and Modelling
and Simulation Techiques (CS5233) and Introduction
to Programming (IT1002) in the 2nd semester.
He is Chair of the NUS PROSE
committee. He was also a Resident Fellow of Kent
Ridge Hall (1993-2003), and is now Master of Sheares
Hall.
