Frank Adelstein has been working with computers for over 20 years. His research interests are broad, and include mobile computing, wireless communication, real-time networking, and computer security. Dr. Adelstein holds a B.S. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from The Ohio State University. He held a postdoctoral research position with the Cornell Computer Science Department, working with the Xerox Design Research Institute. Currently, he is a Senior Principal Scientist with ATC-NY (formerly Odyssey Research Associates), and has been with them since 1999. While there, his work has focused on computer security, ranging from computer forensics, and intrusion detection, to red-teaming and penetration testing. He is a GIAC certified forensic analyst. In his 'copious free time,' he enjoys playing ultimate frisbee, doodling, and flying around the Finger Lakes region of New York State. He holds a commercial pilot's license for land and sea planes. Sandeep Kumar S. Gupta received the B.Tech degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India, the M.Tech. degree in CSE from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and the M.S. and the Ph.D. degree in Computer and Information Science from The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. He has served at Duke University, Durham, NC as a post-doctoral researcher; at Ohio University, Athens, OH as a Visiting Assistant Professor; and at Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, CO as an Assistant Professor. Since 2001 he has been a faculty member at Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, where he is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering. His current research is focused on dependable and adaptive distributed systems with emphasis on wireless sensor networks, mobile computing, and biomedical applications.
