Curriculum Vitae - The University of Texas at Dallas

Thesis Committees: Serving/served on numerous internal and external MS and Ph.D. Committees sincejoining UT Dallas. External committees include University of Milan (2005 – 2009), University of Ottowa(2006), University of Maryland, Baltimore County (2005 – 2007).Research is proceeding in the following areas: Data and Applications Security and Privacy (AssuredInformation Sharing, Secure Geospatial Data Management, Data Mining for Security Applications,Secure Grid, Storage and Web Services, Secure Social Networks) and Information Management(Semantic Web, Information Integrating). Topics include the following:1. Data Security and PrivacyArea 1: Assured Information SharingTrustworthy partners experimentation, semi-trustworthy partners and game theory, untrustworthy partnersand worm detection, agent-based trust management, peer-to-peer trust management, data integrity andprovenance, risk-based access control and data sharingArea 2: Secure Geospatial Data ManagementSecure geospatial semantic web and web services, geospatial data management for emergencypreparedness, privacy for geospatial dataArea 3: Secure Semantic Web and Social NetworksPolicy management, inference control, security and privacy for social networksArea 4: Data Mining for Security ApplicationsIntrusion, buffer overflow and worm detection, automatic face recognition and RFID technologies, datamining for surveillance applications, secure robots for disaster recovery, data mining for fault detection,privacy preserving data miningArea 5: Secure Grid, Clouds, and Web ServicesAccountability for grids, delegation-based model for secure web servicesOther: Complexity TheoryExamining complexity results for sensor networks and security problems.2. Information ManagementOntology Alignment for Semantic Web, Geospatial Data Mining, Knowledge Management, ManagingLarge RDF graphs, Query Processing in Clouds, Geospatial Data MiningResearch Supervision: Previous (1980 – 2004)New Mexico Institute of TechnologyWhile I taught courses in theory of computation and Mathematics Logic, I conducted research inComplexity theory and published several journal papers including ones in the Journal of Computer andSystems Sciences and the Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic. I developed a concept called SystemFunction Language in 1981 which was published later in 1993 in the Journal of Mathematical Logic.University of MinnesotaAs a member of the graduate faculty, together with Prof. Wei-Tek Tsai (now at Arizona State University),I co-supervised the following students from 1984 to 1988.Tom Keefe, Ph.D.29
