Dean Zlateva\u2019s research interests include computational modeling of visual perception, parallel and distributed processing, and pattern recognition. She was instrumental in developing the information security curriculum that led to Boston University\u2019s designation as a Center for Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense and Research by the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security. She is an expert in online course delivery and development, and she has an accomplished research background in computer science. Dr. Zlateva is currently director for education at Boston University’s Center for Reliable Information Systems & Cyber Security (RISCS)<\/a>. In 2010, the RISCS team secured two $3 million grants from the National Science Foundation. The funds will support two major research projects in the field of IT: \u201cSecuring the Open Softphone\u201d and \u201cTowards Trustworthy Interactions in the Cloud.\u201d<\/p>\n
