Summary

Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of Pittsburgh.  Research at Western Michigan University (WMU), Purdue University, and  University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Teaching Computer Science at WMU and UIC.   Tutorial instructor for IEEE Computer Society.  Diversified R&D experience at AT&T/Lucent Bell Labs. Consultant for  academic and business projects.  Entrepreneurial experience in the United States and Poland.

Current research focused in two Areas: (1) opportunistic networks or oppnets (a specialized kind of ad hoc networks); and (2) trust, privacy and security in open computing systems.  In Area 1, focus on primitives for oppnets, privacy and security in oppnets, and interoperability of oppnet helper networks and devices. In Area 2, concentration on vulnerability analysis and threat assessment, privacy-preserving data dissemination, authentication and privacy in health care, the role of trust in open computing environments, analysis of computer security paradigms, modeling computer fraud, and security and privacy aspects in pervasive systems, including ad hoc sensor networks and embedded networks

Former areas of investigation include: (a) distributed computing systems with concentration on decentralized control; (b) distributed database systems with focus on reliability, fault tolerance, recovery, concurrency control, query optimization, and database design; and (c) semantic database integrity.

Editorial Board member for the International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems, The Open Cybernetics & Systemics Journal, and Recent Patents on Computer Science. Chair and organizer of the International Workshops on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007 and SAHNS 2009) in conjunction with the  IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2007 and ICDCS 2009). Co-PI for an NSF grant on vulnerability analysis and threat assessment/avoidance. Awarded participation in the Visiting Faculty Research Program (VFRP), U.S. Air Force Research Lab.
