“The day I married my wife was one of the best days of my life. It led to me getting saved and going on to have the two most precious children on the face of the earth. I would like to be known as the type of man described by Joel Hilliker in a Philadelphia Trumpet article I read recently. A man that “went after his family like he went after his job.” After being educated at the expense of the Barbadian public, UWI provided me with the greatest opportunity to give back, not only to my country, but to the Caribbean as a whole.”

PROFILE

For Dr. Hussein Thompson, the complexity and beauty of life as a whole far outweigh that of any algorithm; although the latter, along with other mathematical conundrums, have a special attraction for this Lecturer and recent PhD graduate. A man with a strong commitment to his God, family, country and region, Dr. Thompson sees himself as giving back to those who have enabled his development. In 2002 he received his BSc (Hons) in Computer Science from The University of the West Indies’ Cave Hill Campus in Barbados and went on to pursue his PhD under the supervision of Professor Pranay Chaudhuri who is also featured in this publication. In keeping with his vision of re-investing in the Caribbean, Thompson joined the Department of Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics at UWI Cave Hill in February 2007 as an Assistant Lecturer, just a few months before being awarded his PhD in Computer Science (with high commendation) in October 2007.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr. Thompson’s research interests include distributed systems, self-stabilization, algorithms and complexity analysis, as well as applied graph theory.
