Previous
Research
My previous
research includes the development of a predictive model for software test
coverage, which was applied to guide Y2K testing of mission-critical systems at
the Department of Defense. My doctoral research involved the development of a
framework for cost and quality management of component-based systems, where the
aim is to achieve the highest “quality,” while meeting specification thresholds
and budget and timing constraints. Since completing my doctorate, I have
expanded upon this work to include aspects of security and trust. A related area of my current research is
dependability modeling for critical infrastructures.

Biography
I joined
Missouri S&T (then UMR) in August 2004. Until December 2006, I had a joint
appointment in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Information Science and Technology. Prior to
joining UMR, I was a graduate research assistant at
the Distributed Multimedia
Systems Laboratory at Purdue University,
where I conducted research on topics including Y2K testing of mission-critical
defense systems, software acquisition, and enterprise engineering. From June
2002 to May 2003, I taught Linear Circuit Analysis I (ECE201) at Purdue. I
worked for Cisco Systems from May 1997 to
May 2000, initially as a member of the original development team for the Cisco
Interactive Mentor, a series of multimedia tutorials on Cisco products and
internetworking technology, and later on research and development for high availability
mechanisms for the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS).
I received
the B.S. degree from Sharif University of
Technology and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Purdue University, all in electrical
engineering. I held a Purdue Research Foundation
Fellowship from 1996 to 2000. In Nov. 2009, I was selected as one of 49
participants in the National Academy of Engineering's First Frontiers of
Engineering Education Symposium.
I
am a member of Eta
Kappa Nu, and a faculty advisor to the Gamma
Theta Chapter. I am a senior member of the IEEE.
