Kishwar Ahmed

Assistant Professor, Electrtical Engineering and Computer Science Department, The University of Toledo

I am Kishwar Ahmed, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electircal Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Toledo. My research interests include high performance computing (HPC) and cyber-physical systems. More specifically, I am interested in the energy-efficiency, sustainability, and security issues of large-scale computing systems.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Florida International University, under the supervision of Prof. Jason Liu. I also worked as a research aide at Argonne National Laboratory. I received my B.Sc. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University and Technology. I am honored to receive the NSF CRII award and the UofSC ASPIRE award.
