Bernd Hamann is a full professor of computer science at UC Davis. Previously he served as Associate Vice Chancellor for Research.

Professor Levitt conducts research in the areas of computer security, automated verification, and software engineering. With respect to computer security he is working on techniques to detect malicious code (viruses, worms, time bombs, etc.) in programs and to detect attempts to penetrate or misuse computer systems, especially computer networks. With respect to verification, he is applying an automated theorem prover (Higher Order Logic – HOL) to the verification of hardware and software systems, especially operating systems for safety-critical embedded systems.

Caroline has over fifteen years experience in transportation and environmental planning and policy analysis. As a senior researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Rodier has conducted evaluation research of numerous of intelligent transportation system field operational tests including advanced parking systems, shared-use low-speed modes, automated speed enforcement, and virtual compliance stations for commercial vehicles.

David M. Rocke is a distinguished professor in biostatistics at UC Davis School of Medicine and the Department of Applied Science. He also was a former co-director of the Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization at UC Davis.

Professor Pandey is interested in all aspects of parallel and distributed systems. His current research involves building scalable, reliable, efficient, and secure systems software infrastructure for sensor network-based systems. His research group is also developing fundamental techniques for building distributed systems that can dynamically adapt to changes in their environment and program characteristics.

I am part of the Computer Security group at UC Davis. In research, I am interested in security issues related to both networking and networked (if you can tell the difference) systems. Currently, I have been working on the following research areas: Unknown vulnerability analysis, IPSec/VPN Policy Management, Routing protocol security, Internet architecture, Mobility, Secure computer architecture, Email Antispam, Information Visualization for Security, Anomaly Analysis and Explanation. Very soon, I realized that I was probably interested in too many things.

Dr. Rowe obtained his Ph.D. from UC Davis in 1996 in Particle Physics. Since joining the Computer Security Laboratory, he has developed several algorithms for responding to network attacks. He was leader of the team testing and maintaining the GrIDS system. He also led the team subcontracted to produce the IDIP Discovery Coordinator for the Boeing Automated Response to Intrusions project. Most recently, Dr. Rowe evaluated GrIDS under the DARPA sponsored Lincoln Lab IDS evaluation program.

I am currently an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California, Davis. I began my appointment at Davis in January 2003 and was promoted to associate professor on 1 July 2008.

Professor Heritage is conducting research in microphotonics, terahertz bandwidth optics, next generation optical networks, optical microwave interactions and vacuum optoelectonics. Recent developments include MEMS mirror arrays for all optical switching, femtosecond pulse shaping, and miniature broadband time delay scanners. He investigates the impact of physical layer impairments on performance of switched WDM networks.

Dr. Ding is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received the B.S. degree from Nanjing Institute of Technology in 1982, M.A.Sc. degree from the University of Toronto in 1987, and the Ph.D. degree from Cornell University in 1990, all in electrical engineering. He is currently Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, Davis, CA.

Research Interests: 1. Space-time analogies in electromagnetics: There is an intriguing analogy between the equations that describe the natural diffraction of electromagnetic wave in space […]

Shu Lin received the B.S.E.E. degree from the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, in 1959, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Rice University, Houston, TX, in 1964 and 1965, respectively. In 1965, he joined the Faculty of the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, as an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering. He became an Associate Professor in 1969 and a Professor in 1973. In 1986, he joined Texas A&M University, College Station, as the Irma Runyon Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering. In 1987, he returned to the University of Hawaii.

Professor Pham is conducting research in RF IC design, RF, Micro-, Millimeter wave electronic packaging, phased array antennas, and wireless sensors. In the area of RF IC design, his group is developing understanding and circuit techniques for RF CMOS, wide bandwidth circuits, and linearization methods for power amplifiers. Recent developments include linearized amplifiers and RF building blocks for gigabit wireless and phased array antennas up to 60 GHz.

Ken Joy is a Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Davis. He came to UC Davis in 1980 in the Department of Mathematics and was a founding member of the Computer Science Department in 1983. Professor Joy’s research and teaching interests are in the area of visualization, geometric modeling, and computer graphics.
