Cloud Technology Endowed Fellowship
Unfilled chairs and professorships are used to support recently tenured faculty and help accelerate the success of their research through fellowships. The fellowships are one-year, nonrecurring honorific appointments. Fellows are nominated by academic leadership and selected by the provost through a competitive process.
Murtuza Jadliwala, Ph.D.
Cloud Technology Endowed Fellowship
Associate Professor, Computer Science
Murtuza Jadliwala’s research spans all aspects of cyber and cyber-physical systems security & user privacy, with a special emphasis on the topics of mobile & IoT security, distributed systems security, privacy enhancing technologies, incentive-based mechanism design for security, adversarial machine learning and design of mobile/ubiquitous sensing algorithms, systems and applications.
