RESEARCH IMPACT STATEMENT

During the last several years, I have built strong international research links and reputation in my field of interest. I have worked in network performance evaluation, network protocol design and network applications and published extensively in international conferences, journals and books. I have developed a number of algorithms for automated network traffic engineering, medical data aggregation and transmission and flight data transmission and integration. My work for flight data tracker has earned the US non-provisional patent recognizing it as a useful invention. (see http://patentsgazette.uspto.gov/week31/OG/html/1441-1/US09718557-20170801.html. The granting of patent to FDT was widely covered in newspapers, TV news and aviation magazines.  I was invited by IGI Global Publishers to be the chief editor for a book on cyber security. This book was published in 2011 and it was selected as the textbook for a graduate level course in George Mason University. Recognition of my expertise is evident from the number of conferences and symposia that have invited me in leading roles such as technical program committee chair, keynote speaker, International chair, session chair and publication chair. I am a founding member of the team that started FIT (Frontiers of Information Technology) Conference that has been held each year since 2003. This conference was started as a NSF sponsored workshop. FIT is now part of the ACM Digital Library. I am in the core team of HONET (High Performance Optical Networks and Enabling Technologies) conference which was started as a NSF sponsored event and later progressed to become an international conference. Its proceedings are included in IEEE Digital Library. I have played a key role in organizing both FIT and HONET. I have contributed to the success of CTS (Collaboration Technologies Symposium) which has progressed to become a full conference. I have been the publication chair of CTS since 2006 (CTS is part of IEEE Digital Library).  I won a seed grant for research in disaster management in AURAK in 2014. The Associate Dean of school of Engineering was the co-PI in this grant. We worked to develop a mathematical model for patient dispatch for mass disasters and location aware processing of disaster zone hospitals and our results have been published in prestigious Springer journal of personal wireless communications and Elsevier ICT Express Journal. My publications have been referenced widely by researchers and authors in conferences, journals, patents and books.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

I have approximately 4-5 years of experience serving as Director of Computer Labs, Computer Coordinator, Systems Manager , Assistant Engineer, Senior Engineer  and Software Analyst.  A list of professional jobs held in chronological order can be found at http://www.cs.fredonia.edu/~zubairi/webprof.html.

 

 

ASIC  and FPGA Related Experience

I am knowledgeable about ASIC design with front-end and back-end tools. I used layout tools for several VLSI layouts and front-end tools for synthesis and developed an integrated package (IDFA) to analyze the chip designs for delay faults. I planned and established ASIC design facilities based on front-end design tools from Synopsys, FPGA tools from Altera and back-end layout tools consisting of MAGIC and SPICE. Following are some relevant projects that I worked on:

·         Implementation of GLITTER, a gridless channel router in VLSI chips

·         Design of a scan test generator for LSSD VLSI chips in C

·         Design of an expert system for circuit drawing in PROLOG

·         VLSI design of several combinational logic circuits

·         Design of IDFA, a VLSI chip fault analysis tool for delay fault analysis

 

Network Related Experience

I have worked on several topics in network performance and protocols. Some of the projects include:

·         IoT assisted smart city planning

·         Emergency medical data transmission for disaster sites

·         Dealing with handoff issues for mobile IP nodes

·         Shaping VBR traffic for diffserv domains to reduce congestion

·         Simulation of departmental and campus networks for performance analysis

·         Design of TE-compliant LSP selection scheme for MPLS domains

I have extensive experience in designing, advising, managing and supervising local area networks and campus wide networks including shared Ethernet, switched Ethernet and Ethernet-ATM networks in lead positions.

 

Other Professional Skills and Expertise

I have worked on a variety of computing platforms including  supercomputers and parallel processors. I have a rich background of programming languages including C++/C, Java, Pascal, PROLOG, LISP, VHDL, FORTH and C*. I have used Labview, Synopsys, Altera Max+plusII, Xilinx Project Manager, PVM, GLUT, X-Windows, Latex, MAGIC, SPICE, NS and OPNET.
