This is Nima Karimian(نیما کریمیان), and I am currently an Assistant Professor of the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (LCSEE) at West Virginia University. Before joining WVU, I was an Assistant Professor in the Computer Engineering Department at San José State University. I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Connecticut in 2018. Before joining UConn, I was a Research Assistant at Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran, Iran. I obtained my Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UConn in Fall 2016. I also received my B.S. degree from Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Iran, in 2011.
I am actively involved in projects related to biometrics security and applied machine learning in cybersecurity. I have authored several journal articles and peer-reviewed conference papers. I was a recipient of several best paper awards from venues, such as International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB) for the IAPR TC4 Best Student Paper Award, the Best Technical Paper Award at 30th International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID), and the Best Poster Award from FICS Research Conference on Cybersecurity. I also received Faculty Excellence in Scholarship Award from SJSU in 2021. My projects are sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) CRII and NSF SHF. I served on the organizing committee of ISQED, SVCC, and several technical program committees, including HOST, ISQED, etc. He is currently serving as an associate editor for the Discover Internet of Things (DIoT) Journal.
