Lane department of computer science and electrical engineering

Short Bio:

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.

WHY CHOOSE COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AT WVU?

WVU’s Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering offers five undergraduate and six graduate programs in cybersecurity, biometrics systems engineering, computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, and software engineering with the flexibility to choose majors and minors. We are one of the few schools offering biometrics and cybersecurity in the same engineering program, and we are the DHS/NSA designated National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE) and Cyber Research (CAE-R). These quality programs prepare students for high-demand jobs and make a difference towards cyber secure and resilient infrastructure, clean energy, national defense, and customized healthcare through hands-on and state-of-the-art learning experience.

Our high-quality research activities and industry partnership in big data and visualization, AI, ML, biometrics, computer vision, cyber security and computer forensics, software engineering, communications and sensor networks, power and energy systems, nanotechnology/electronics, theoretical computer science, radio and astronomy, and healthcare, results in course offerings with most updated contents and trains students for societal impacts.

Our Mission

The mission of the Lane Department of CSEE is to harbor a nurturing learning environment for students as well as provide a high-quality education through academic programs with both practical and theoretical backgrounds, hands-on research experience and membership into relevant professional societies.

Employment outlook

Computer science and electrical engineering graduates are highly sought after by all sectors, including government and industry within the north West Virginia high-tech corridor and outside of West Virginia in places like Silicon Valley. Those pursuing graduate studies have been accepted into top-ranked graduate programs throughout the country.

1st

LCSEE offers the first-of-its-kind degree in Biometric Systems Engineering and a new degree in the emerging field of Cybersecurity.

11

LCSEE alone offers a total of 11 academic programs.

LCSEE Learning Center offers individualized peer-based tutoring to ensure student success at the sophomore level and beyond.

Students in LCSEE are given the opportunity to participate in an International, multi-agency cyber competition, Locked Shield. This out-of-classroom exercise enables students to use the skills they've learned in everything from engineering to cybersecurity, media and law in one of the most complex, technical, live-fire challenges in the world.

The biometric systems lab performs data collections involving the collection of biometric information from paid volunteers every year.

Raymond Lane, a man from working-class roots in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, became a Silicon Valley icon but he never forgot his alma mater – WVU. Lane graduated from Moon High School, located near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After receiving a mathematics degree in 1968 from WVU, Lane took off for what was then an uncharted frontier.
