Welcome to my web site! My research and education are interdisciplinary in Engineering and Computer Science (specialized in Software Engineering). I have a wide scope of interdisciplinary research activities, including software engineering, information security, data mining, service intelligence, software reverse engineering, and medical informatics. I have over 70 publications, supervised more than 30 PhD and Master’s students in interdisciplinary fields, and developed several software tools in system analysis and medical informatics. I have been a pioneer researcher in applying data mining algorithms on both static and dynamic analyses of software systems and developed a graph-pattern-matching based software analysis and evaluation technique and a toolkit namely “Alborz” with 35K lines of code. I have been a co-developer and co-director of the M.Sc eHealth program at McMaster University and have served on the peer-review committee for CHRP (Collaborative Health Research Projects), which is sponsored by NSERC and CIHR. My current research includes intelligent security provisioning for distributed systems based on mining log repositories to identify common and anomaly user behaviors. I also work on knowledge engineering with projects regarding data and service integration, knowledge extraction and dissemination among medical specialty domains.
