My primary research interests include Algorithms, Dynamic Reconfigurable Networks, Parallel and Distributed Programming, Cloud Computing, and Bioinformatics. For the last several years, I've been working on Mobile computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Cyber Security. I used to worked as a computer programmer and an IT consultant. I also spent almost a decade lecturing 11 different graduate and undergraduate computer science courses at Georgia State University.
