Honor Code Advisory Board, Boulder
Faculty Assembly and the newly formed Faculty
Governance Council in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
He served as associate chair of the Computer Science Department as chairs
of the undergraduate or graduate programs for over 20 years. He was the
General Chair of The 47th Annual
IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN
2017) and The First and Second International Workshop on Computational
Methods for CyberSafety (CyberSafety
2016. And CyberSafety 2017) which he co-founded.
He has also served as the Program Committee Chair/Co-Chair of CyberSafety 2020, CyberSafety
2018 and MobiCASE 2014.
He enjoys doing research
in Distributed Computing & Networking as well as in Social Computing.
His current research includes developing system-level support for edge
computing and digital twins at the edge, building socio-technical systems
to empower environmental justice communities, strengthening democracy
through technology, and investigating cybersafety
issues in social networks. In the past, he has conducted extensive research
in the areas of mobile group recommendations, cyberbullying in social
networks, misbehavior detection in online video chat systems, multiplayer
online game analytics, secure and intrusion-tolerant sensor networks,
delay-tolerant networking, and group communication systems.
He teaches systems
courses both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. These include
Computer Systems and Operating Systems at the undergraduate level and
Distributed Systems, Computer Networks and Advanced Operating Systems at
the graduate level. In addition, he has taught several special topics
courses including Strengthening Democracy through Technology, Sustainable
Computing, and Dependable Distributed Systems.

Industry
Advisory Board meeting for our PPI Center will be held in Flint, Michigan
on October 25-26, 2023. Details coming up soon.
The PPI
Center is a multi-university, industry-focused research center under the
supervision of the US National Science Foundation (NSF). The
pre-competitive and industry-applied research projects we work on are
funded by industry members, our universities, and by the NSF. See the
center details at https://www.ppicenter.org/.
If you are
working in industry on areas related to AI/ML/system
support/security-privacy for IoT systems, we would love to talk to you and
hold a discovery session with you. Please contact us today at https://www.ppicenter.org/contact
I have
multiple openings for Ph.D. students in my research group. If you are
interested in research areas related to systems and networking, IoT or
social computing, please check out my current research and contact me.
