I served as the Commissioner for the Computer Accreditation Commission (CAC) and have been in the role of ABET Visit Team Chair 2010-15. Ongoing assessment of academic programs is a personal interest of mine, and I am involved on an ongoing basis at the departmental, school and university levels.

Previously, I have taught in 7 different countries for over 30 years. I have been privileged to be part of the DESY Group (Deutches Elecktronen Synchrotron), Hamburg Germany, as a research fellow, and worked with an MIT group, led by a Nobel laureate.

On the research side, I have been fortunate enough to secure a number of grants and have served on numerous international Ph.D. Thesis committees, been a member of the editorial boards for 7 international journals and served as the Chair and Co-Chair for 15 international conferences. For recognition of my research activities, I have been invited to several international conferences as Invited Speaker, chaired panel discussions and numerous international conference sessions. I have served on more than 200 international conference program committees. Furthermore, I have published number of articles in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences. I am also an active member of ACM, ASEE, and CSAB.
