Oh, if childhood vaccinations can be left up to a person's or parent's choice, should we also let drivers decide for themselves whether to stop at a red light?
Canada has lost its measles elimination status.
A sad day, a win for anti-vaccine ignorance and politicized public health, a new age where children, families, and communities will face additional health risks for no good reason other than the comfort of joining others with similar fact-less beliefs.

Grateful to receive the 2025 IEEE Ottawa Section Outstanding Engineering Educator Award! Thanks to my students, collaborators, mentors, and family for being my greatest inspiration and support. Wonderful to see my mentor and colleague, Prof. Halim Yanikomeroglu, also receive a well-deserved award! 🎉

Honored to receive the 2024-2025 George S. Glinski Award for Excellence in Research at the Faculty of Engineering at uOttawa. Grateful to my students, postdocs, collaborators, and colleagues. I also had the chance to give a TEDx-style talk on the future of wireless. #uOttawa #AI #WirelessResearch

Thrilled to be leading the first academic research lab in Kanata North, "au cœur du plus grand parc technologique du Canada!" Big thanks to uOttawa for their continued support. And kudos to my amazing research team, whose hard work and dedication are the driving force behind everything we do.
"Ten thousand square feet of imagination." That’s how Mayor Sutcliffe described the newly expanded Kanata North campus at its official reopening — and he couldn’t have said it better.
This expansion will fuel the next wave of innovation at the heart of Canada’s largest tech park @uottawa.ca.

Unveiling the expansion of our Kanata North Campus—right in the heart of Canada’s largest tech park. Proud to lead the SITE-CAV initiative as we push the boundaries of mobility research.
More to come!

Some responsibilities are in place to protect everyone. Not just the individual making the choice. Debating whether childhood vaccinations should be mandatory is like debating whether stopping at a red light should be left to a driver's discretion!
"There has been debate about whether vaccinations should be mandatory, at least for a child to attend daycare or school, or whether it should be the parent's choice"

Should be mandatory: 69% (+14)
Should be parent's choice: 25% (-13)

Certains lieux ne sont pas à vendre. Le Canada en fait partie — et il est en tête de cette liste. Merci au Premier ministre Carney de le rappeler si clairement. 🇨🇦
Some places are not for sale! Canada is not for sale —and never will be. Thank you, Prime Minister Carney, for saying it clearly. 🇨🇦

A lovely surprise from my amazing research team today in our lab at uOttawa | Kanata North—a plaque to celebrate the King Charles Medal I received earlier this year. It nearly brought me to tears. Receiving this gesture from those I have the privilege to mentor means the world. Thank you, team!

Just voted in the advance polls here in Kanata. Advance polls are open until Monday—whoever your choice is, I hope you’ll take a moment to make your voice heard in shaping our future as Canadians 🇨🇦

#kind, generous, trustworthy, dependable, compassionate, #strong and free.
