SERVICE
I have had the privilege to serve our department as a faculty as well as the department co-chair for several years. While this is a very rewarding experience, with each one comes its own duties, responsibilities and challenges. During my years of service, I have always aimed at fulfilling the mission of our department, college, and university which strike for the pursuit of excellence in research, education, and service.
Department Chair
I have served as the Computer Science Chair since 2002. The department chair is about leadership, management of the department affairs in consultation with the faculty, dean, and other university officials, and marketing the department programs to potential students and broader community. It requires dedication and commitment in facilitating excellent scholarly work, teaching, and service as stated in the mission and vision of the department. It is my honor to serve this position in pursuit of achieving the educational goals of our department.
