I am an assistant professor of computer science at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I received my Ph. D. from Wayne State University under the supervision of Dr. Abusayeed Saifullah. I received my Masters in Computer Science from Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly known as University of Missouri Rolla). My research interests include Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Real-Time and Embedded Systems , Parallel and Distributed Computing, Internet-of-Things (IoT), and Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) / Industry 4.0.
