Anupam Joshi is the Oros Family Professor and Acting Dean of the College of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). He also serves as the Director of UMBC’s Center for Cybersecurity. He was previously the Chair of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Department He is a Fellow of IEEE, an honor given to a very small fraction (1/10th of a percent) of the main professional society for computer scientists and engineers. He has published over 300 technical papers with an h-index of 90 and over 31000 citations (per Google scholar), been granted nine patents, and has obtained research support over $22M from National Science Foundation (NSF), NASA, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), US Dept of Defense (DoD), NIST, IBM, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin amongst others. Dr. Joshi obtained a B.Tech degree from IIT Delhi in 1989, and a Masters and Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1991 and 1993 respectively. His research interests are at the intersection of AI and Systems. He did some of the earliest work in data management and security for mobile and ad-hoc networks using AI approaches, which was cited in his selection as a Fellow of IEEE. Over the last decade, he has been exploring this intersection to improve Cybersecurity — using Distributed AI approaches for attack detection and resilience in CPS/IoT systems, and policy driven approaches to security and privacy. This work that has led not just to papers but technology transfer to small Maryland companies. He has worked with scholars from areas as diverse as medicine, psychology, linguistics, gerontology, and public policy to explore AI based approaches in those domains that has led to publications and extramural funding. This collaboration is recognized by his appointment as affiliate faculty in the School of Medicine at UM Baltimore and in UMBC’s School of Aging. He has active international collaborations, and has been appointed as adjunct faculty at the School of IT in IIT Delhi. Dr. Joshi has led the creation of innovative programs at UMBC that seek to broaden the participation of historically underrepresented groups in computing. He created and is the Director of UMBC’s Cyberscholars program, which seeks to create a diverse cohort of future leaders in cybersecurity. This work was supported by a $ 4M gift from Northrop Grumman Foundation. With the support of an NSF grant, he also led the creation of a computing minor at UMBC — to allow access to computational thinking and basic programming skills to students in majors where the math requirements are not appropriate for a CS minor
