Dr Vijay Sahota Senior Lecturer Canterbury Christ Church University
A distributed computing systems expert with experience working in both academic and industrial environments has grown a keen sense of intuition on the future trends of technology. Experience in teaching, collaborative research, networking, administration, multi-lingual programming and project management.
Historically I have taught many technical modules, such as networking, cryptography, operating systems, computer systems, logic, HPC, concurrency and intelligent systems. Course-wise, I have introduced the computer science aspect (data intelligence) to CCCU computing suite as well as math, as the founding program director of the computer science BSc degree.
My research in the past has been centred around distributed systems, networks, signal processing and algorithms – currently my PhD students are working in the fields of distributed intelligence for the use in drones and sentiment analysis on images.
In the past I have worked with the NGS, to provide grid compute services nationally via interconnected universities. I have also collaborated across many universities under the banner of e-Science/ Impedance tomography.
