Angkul Kongmunvattana has 30 years of research experience in Computer Science and Engineering and more than 20 years of teaching experience in Electrical and Computer Engineering (University of Minnesota, Twin Cities), Computer Science and Engineering (University of Nevada Reno), Computer Science and Information Technology (Columbus State University and Clayton State University). His research work spans a broad spectrum of areas. Specifically, Dr. K worked on research projects in robotics, cryptographic algorithms, and chip design in the early 1990s before moving on to performance optimization, system recovery, task migration, reconfiguration, and load balancing in parallel and distributed systems from mid-1990s onward. Recently, in mid-2010s, Dr. K expands his research work to include data and visual analytics, cybersecurity and CS education, and DNA sequencing. His work has been partially supported by Altera, Sun Microsystems, NSF, and USGS. On teaching, Dr. K has taught virtually all courses in the computer science core areas as well as introductory programming courses for freshman and advanced courses for graduate students, earning an Excellence in Teaching Award in 2015.
