Short Biography
I am currently a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Technology at The University of Toledo , Ohio. I am also the Program Director for Computer Science & Engineering Technology (CSET) and Information Technology (IT) programs. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Informatics from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan in 2015. I received an M.S. degree in Management Information Systems (MIS) from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 2009.

- Anti-jamming techniques in Cognitive Radio (CR) networks
My research aims at addressing the security of wireless networks both at the application layer and at the physical layer. We combine secret keys and channel coding techniques to provide security. In addition, my work proposes a trust and reputation mechanism for connected vehicles. My other research interests are in the area of anti-jamming techniques for cognitive radio networks. My research work has been published in peer-reviewed conferences and journals such as IEEE International Multi-Disciplinary Conference on Cognitive Methods in Situation Awareness and Decision Support, and International Journal of Trust Management in Computing and Communications. My research has been funded by:
- National Science Foundation
- University of Toledo
Grants (as PI or co-PI)
- “I-CORPS: Teams: Addressing Information Security with Channel Codes,” funded by NSF, PI, 07/16/2016 – 02/17/2016.
- “New Tenure-track faculty start-up fund,” funded by University of Toledo, 07/2015 – 07/2017.
