Associate Professor
Department of Computer Science
University of Nebraska at Omaha
News:
I have joined the College of Information Science and Technology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha as an Associate Professor.
Please consider applying to the 2023 NSF CNS/SaTC-sponsored Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Security and Privacy for Mobile Sensing at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. U.S. Citizenship/Permanent Residency is required.
I graduated with a Ph. D. (2011) and a M.Sc. (2009) degrees in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Florida under supervision of Prof. Dr. Miguel A. Labrador. My undergraduate studies are in Systems Engineering from Universidad del Norte - Barranquilla (Colombia) in 2006. My undergraduate research mentors at UniNorte were Prof. Carlos Ardila-Hernandez and Prof. Dr. Yezid Donoso-Meisel.
My main research interests are:
Privacy / Cybersecurity
Mobile/Ubiquitous Computing and Sensing
CS Education, in particular teacher education for middle/high school CS
My secondary research interests are:
Machine Learning and its applications to Human-centric systems, privacy and cybersecurity
Multiobjective Optimization and its application to Computer Networks and Scheduling
