Dr. Lau first learned computer science in 1976, at Acadia. Ten years later,
he received a PhD in computer science from Waterloo. His PhD research was on
a concept related to process naming and structuring in distributed OS. Dr.
Lau joined the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems as a
lecturer in 1987. His research in OS continued, which led to the formation
of the Systems Research Group (SRG) in the department. The group's motto is
to develop real software on real hardware to solve real problems. Over the
years, the group has graduated close to 20 MPhil/PhD students. Dr. Lau was
promoted to senior lecturer (associate professor) in 1995. He was appointed
and started serving as the head of the department in 2000. |
