Ali Asghary Karahroudy

I was born in a small family with both my parent gone through grad school. Motivation of the family and my enthusiasm for knowledge guided me through the path of education.

I finished my B.Sc. degree in Electronics Engineering from a private university and then joined the job market where I worked in information technology industry for 12 years before returning to graduate school. I obtained my Masters degree in computer science/ software engineering and then returned to work in academia. From Instructor, to chair, dean, and college president, I have tried all aspects of both for profit and public education fields in united states.

My Industry experience along with academic knowledge and experience has seasoned me well to be a good mentor and teacher for those interested in information technology.

I have published multiple papers in the field of IT and security and am working on the next one to be out soon!

Now, I am excited to work with my students in CCSF! go Rams!

My hubbies are mostly those that can pump my adrenalin up as much as possible. Some of what I do while I am not engaged with school and education are:

Scuba Diving


I am a PADI Open Water Scuba Diving Instructor (OWSI) and sometimes teach people and certify them!

Sky Diving Paragliding

Sky Diving and Paragliding are at top of my favorite sports list. If I am not underwater, where is better than being in sky? I first jumped out of plane when I was 10, and I still love it!

Enjoying his company!

I am a dog lover, Dobermans and German Shepherds are my two best choices. I love to walk this gentelman whenever I can!
