Shambhu J. Upadhyaya is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Prior to July 1998, he was a faculty member at the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. His research interests are information assurance, computer security, fault diagnosis, fault tolerant computing, and VLSI Testing. He has authored or coauthored more than 120 articles in refereed journals and conferences in the area of checkpointing and recovery, fault tolerant architectures, intrusion detection, signature analysis, and built-in self-testing of programmable structures. His current projects involve intrusion detection, insider threat modeling, security in wireless networks, SoC test scheduling, analog circuit diagnosis, and reconfigurable architectures. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Rome Laboratory, the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, DARPA, and National Security Agency. In May 1999, IBM sponsored a new Electronic Test and Design Automation Lab to support his teaching and research on VLSI Testing. He has been awarded an IBM Faculty Partnership Fellowship for year 2000-01 in recognition of his research accomplishments in the area of VLSI. He was also an NRC faculty fellow in 2001 and 2002. He has held visiting research faculty positions at the Center for Reliable and High Performance Computing, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Intel Corporation, Folsom, CA, Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome, NY and the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington DC. He was the Program Co-Chair of the Fifth IEEE/ACM Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI, 1995. He has served on various Conference Committees including the IEEE Simulation Conference, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1999 - 2004, Fault Tolerant Computing Symposium, 1997, and 1999, IEEE International Symposium on Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI Systems, 1997, 1998, 2000 - 2003, and 1999, and IEEE Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems, 1998 and 1999. He was the publicity chair of 1998 IEEE International Computer Performance and Dependability Symposium, and has served as the Program Co-chair of IEEE Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems, 2000 held in Nuernberg, Germany. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Computers, a member of the editorial board of the International Journal on Reliability, Quality, and Safety Engineering published by the World Scientific Publishers. He is a guest co-editor of a special issue on Reliable Distributed Systems in IEEE Transactions on Computers, Feb 2003, and a guest co-editor of the book series Interfaces in OR/CS on Mobile Computing: Implementing Pervasive Information and Communication Technologies, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001. He is a senior member of IEEE.
