I am an Assistant Professor and Chair of the Department of Computer Science and Cybersecurity at St. Francis College, where I lead faculty recruitment, program development, and strategic initiatives aimed at advancing education in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cybersecurity. In this role, I have overseen the successful establishment and growth of four academic programs—BS in Computer Science, MS in Computer Science, BS in Cybersecurity, and MS in Cybersecurity—ensuring that they align with both institutional priorities and the evolving needs of the technology workforce.

I spearheaded the creation of the College’s first graduate program in Cybersecurity, which received approval from the New York State Education Department in September 2025, and directed the development of the BS in Cybersecurity program, approved in August 2025. My teaching focuses on artificial intelligence, data analytics, algorithms, and applied computing, with an emphasis on project-based learning that prepares students to solve real-world problems.
