I am an Assistant Professor of
Electrical and
Computer Engineering and
an Adjunct Professor of
Computer Science and Operations
Research at the
North Dakota State
University (NDSU). I also am an Adjunct
Professor of Computer Science at the
COMSATS
Institute of Information Technology (CIIT),
Pakistan.
I am the Director of
the
NDSU-CIIT Green Computing and Communications
Laboratory.
I received my PhD (Computer Science) from
the University of Texas
and BS (Computer Systems Engineering) from the
GIK Institute
(Pakistan) in 2007 and 1999, respectively.
My research interests
are:
-
sustainable
computing (high and low level
{data, task, and communications} schedulers,
workflow managers, and application-level
dynamic fine-tuning)
-
social networking
(disaster management, search and rescue,
classroom instructional use, and malicious
behavior detection)
-
robust backbone
networks for cyber-infrastructures
(resource provisioning, system recovery from
catastrophic anomalies, and
inter-layer/inter-domain protocols)
-
reliability
(robustness, trust, and security).
