IEEE CSS NextCom, Steering Committee Member

Email: philpare at purdue dot edu

I am the Rita Lane and Norma Fries Assistant Professor in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. I am a member of the Center for Innovation in Control, Optimization, and Networks (ICON) and am affiliated with the Integrative Data Science Initiative (IDSI) and the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS). I am also a member of the PIECE (Project for Inclusion in ECE) Committee.

I am always looking to diversify my group with strong, motivated students. If you are interested in joining, please send me an email explaining why you want to join my group and why you think you are prepared to be in a controls group at Purdue, and include a full CV with GPAs. Note that I receive many emails and may not be able to respond to every one.

News:
