Abusayeed Saifullah

Associate Professor, Computer Science

Biography

Abusayeed Saifullah is an associate professor of Computer Science at Wayne State University. He received PhD in Computer Science and Engineering with Turner Dissertation Award under the supervision of Chenyang Lu from Washington University in St Louis. His research concerns Internet-of-Things, cyber-physical systems, real-time and embedded systems, and wireless networks. His h-index is 31 and he has a total citations of 6,000 according to Google Scholar. He received ten Best Paper Awards and nominations in highly competitive conferences including ACM SenSys (2016), IEEE RTSS (2019, 2014, 2011), IEEE ICII (2018), IEEE RTAS (2012), and ACM EWSN (2021). He also received NSF CAREER award (2019) and Wayne State University's College of Engineering Faculty Research Excellence Award (2020). He served as a program chair of IEEE ICESS 2020, as a track chair of IEEE ICCCN 2019, and as a TPC member of ACM SenSys, IEEE RTSS, ACM/IEEE IoTDI, IEEE RTAS, ACM/IEEE ICCPS, ACM MobiHoc, and IEEE INFOCOM. He is an associate editor of ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems and an area editor of Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing.
