Biographical Sketch:
Dr. Stefan Robila is Professor of Computer Science at Montclair State University (MSU). Between Jan 2018 and Jan 2021 Dr. Robila served as Program Director in the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) where he developed and managed a portfolio of awards that enable cyberinfrastructure research, development and acquisition as part of regular programs or in response to
immediate needs such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Robila has worked extensively with the collection and analysis of hyperspectral data, and the development and implementation of computationally efficient feature extraction algorithms that use high performance computing. This work has now expanded into more general research and applications for large data sets. He has started working on greening the computing infrastructure as well as cybersecurity. Dr. Robila served as Principal Investigator grants on research, training and instrumentation, and received support from NSF, SPIE, HP, PSEG, Sun Microsystems, New Jersey Council for Humanities and MSU totaling over $6.4 million. His teaching experience includes all introductory computing courses, discrete mathematics, operating systems, computer organization, computer security, robotics, pattern recognition, high performance computing, and theory of programming languages. Dr. Robila is a senior member of ACM and IEEE and IEEE Region 1 Award
Recipient.
