Graduate and undergraduate courses: including Parallel and Distributed Computing, Parallel Algorithms, Distributed Systems and Web Service Architectures, Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Automata and Language Theory, Data Structures (in C++), and Programming Languages Pascal and ADA, Introduction to Computer Science. Developed and updated several courses and offered independent studies.

Directed graduate students: in parallel and distributed computing, Cloud Computing, GPGPU and Multicore Computing, middleware and mobile computing, collaborative computing, distributed security, and sensor networks projects, theses and dissertations in parallel and distributed computing area on state-of-the-art Silicon Graphics 200-core Infiniband GPGPU cluster, Microsoft Azure Cloud, NVIDIA GPUS 280 GTX and Tesla, Intel and AMD Multicores, 24-CPU Origin-2000 high-performance CC-NUMA computer as well as on NCUBE-II, BBN Butterfly, Maspar’s MP-1, SGI Power Challenge and a network of UNIX Workstations running PVM/MPI (C/C++/Java). Resulted in several joint research publications with students.

PH.D. Program Development: The most exciting achievement for me personally has been the long sought and now wel-developed Ph.D. program. I am involved with the program intensely, interacting with all Ph.D. students, encouraging the promising M.S. and B.S. students to consider carrying out Ph.D. work, preparing and grading qualifier examinations, and, currently, training and partially supporting about a half-dozen Ph.D. students. During 2000-04, the Yamacraw/GEDC contract activity lent a crucial support for our new Ph.D. program, attracting and retaining students through its quality research facility, vigorous research activity and a competitive assistantship amount, and supported several full-time Ph.D. students. Subsequent funding for PhD. MS, and Undergraduate research, including US minority and international undergraduate summer interns have been from NSF and NIH grants and , B&B and MBD fellowships.
