Homayoun (Homy) Dayani-Fard

I was a post-doctoral fellow and an instructor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto from Feb. 2003 to June 2004. I received my PhD and MSc from School of Computing at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario and my BSc (Honors) from University of Toronto. During my PhD research I was a member of IBM Toronto Lab (Centre for Advanced Studies and DB2 UDB Development). From July 2004 to August 2005, I was a consultant in IBM Business Consulting Services Technology Strategy Group in Toronto.

In 2005, I left Canada to complete an MBA at University of Oxford in UK. Since graduation I have been working as a management consultant in UK.
