parallel/cloud computing, social and biological networks, applied graph
theory and game theory. He contributed significantly to these areas and
published extensively (375+ papers in high quality journals, 500+ papers
in peer-reviewed conferences, and 57 book chapters). He coauthored four
books – Smart Environments: Technology, Protocols, and Applications
(John Wiley, 2005); Handbook on Securing Cyber-Physical Critical
Infrastructure: Foundations and Challenges (Morgan Kaufman, 2012);
Mobile Agents in Distributed Computing and Networking (Wiley, 2012); and
Principles of Cyber-Physical Systems: An Interdisciplinary Approach
(Cambridge University Press, 2020). A holder of 5 US patents, he
directed funded projects over $22 million. His h-index is 95 with more
