\nPhD, Kazan University; MS, Moscow University<\/em><\/p>\n
\nMy area of expertise is cryptography.<\/p>\n
\nOver the past decade, I have taught Cryptography (MET CS 789)<\/a>, Advanced Cryptography (MET CS 799)<\/a>, Computer Language Theory (MET CS 662)<\/a>, Introduction to Probability and Statistics (MET CS 546)<\/a>, and Discrete Math (MET CS 248)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nThe most rewarding aspect of my job has always been communicating with faculty and students. The students are my reason for being here and having this job, and my goal is to ensure that they are exposed to an excellent experience, and that, as graduates, they take pride in having received their education with us. We are committed to preparing students for the challenges that are out there when it comes to finding jobs, changing jobs, or moving to better positions within their companies.<\/p>\n
\nAs a department, we excel in data analytics, health informatics, security and forensics, database management, mobile development, web languages development, and project management. But our primary areas of strength are always the quality of the people and the courses.<\/p>\n
