I am a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Computer Engineering and Electronics groups) and Computer Science at the University of Toronto. My research interests include the development of CAD tools for the debugging, verification, synthesis and test of digital VLSI circuits and systems. I also have interest in algorithms and theoretical computer science. I obtained a PhD degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Department of Computer Science, an MSc from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles , Department of Computer Science and an undergraduate Diploma from the University of Patras, Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics. I was a visiting faculty at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1998-99. I joined UofT in August 1999. 

I have worked in the music industry and I was a consultant to an Internet start-up multimedia company in 1994-96.
