Duthie Center for Engineering, University of Louisville.
Roman earned his Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science
and
Engineering at the University at Buffalo. There he was a recipient of a
four year NSF (National Science Foundation) IGERT (Integrative Graduate
Education and Research Traineeship) fellowship. Before beginning his
doctoral studies, he earned his BS/MS (High Honors) combined
degree in Computer Science from Rochester Institute of Technology, NY,
USA.
After completing his Ph.D. dissertation, Roman held a
position of
an Affiliate Academic at the Center for Advanced Spatial Analysis,
University of London, College of London. In August of 2008, he
accepted an assistant professor position at the Speed School
of Engineering, University of Louisville, KY. He had previously
conducted research at the Laboratory for Applied Computing (currently
known as Center for Advancing the Study of Infrastructure) at the
Rochester Institute of Technology and at the Center for Unified
Biometrics and Sensors at the University at Buffalo.
His main areas of interest are behavioral biometrics,
digital forensics, pattern recognition, genetic algorithms, neural
networks, artificial intelligence, and games. He is an author
of over 50 publications including multiple journal articles and books.
His research has been cited by numerous scientists and profiled in
popular magazines both American and foreign (New Scientist, Poker
Magazine, Science World Magazine), dozens of websites (Yahoo! News, ACM
TechNews, Security World) and on radio (German National Radio). Reports
about his work have attracted international attention and have been
translated into many languages including Czech, Danish, Dutch, French,
German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian, and Spanish.
