A Vision of Computer Science at UNB Virendrakumar C. Bhavsar Professor and Director, Advanced Computational Research Laboratory Faculty of Computer Science, University of New Brunswick Fredericton, NB, Canada February 5, 2003

Outline - My Background - Computer Science Discipline - Computer Science at UNB - Conclusion

Educational Background (Born – Sept. 1950) B. Eng. (Electronics and Telecommunications) University of Poona, India Project: 4-bit Adder/Subtractor/Multiplier M.Tech. (Electrical Eng. - specialization: Instrumentation, Control, and Computers) Indian Institute of Technology (I.I.T.), Bombay, India Dissertation – Special Purpose Parallel Computers Ph. D. (Electrical Eng.) I.I.T., Bombay, India Thesis –Design and Analysis of Parallel Algorithms

Teaching Experience 1974 – 1983: Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay Research Associate, Lecturer Assistant Professor to date: UNB Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor Developed many new courses Short courses: industries and academia – 24 7 four-day courses offered at Washington DC, Ottawa and Boston UNB Merit Awards (1992, 1999) for outstanding contributions to UNB
