BSc, PgD, MSc, PhD

My research areas include Artificial Neural Networks, Parallel and Distributed Computing and Computer Architecture. Currently I am involved with the development of a protein/DNA sequence recognition model, model for recognising finger-prints in DNA and Ligand binding in the area of Bioinformatics using artificial neural networks. I am also working on the message passing language I designed and a proof for the design specification derived from the language. Apart from this I am developing a software for designing and implementing business data flow systems using the message passing language.
