Homa Alemzadeh

Homa Alemzadeh is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science (by courtesy) at the University of Virginia. She is also affiliated with the UVA Link Lab, a multi-disciplinary center for research and education in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Before joining UVA, she was a Research Staff Member at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. She received her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2016. Her research interests are at the intersection of computer systems dependability/security and data science, particularly the application of machine learning in resilience assessment and assurance of safety-critical CPS such as medical devices, surgical robots, clinical decision support systems, and autonomous vehicles. She is the recipient of the 2022 CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation and the 2017 William C. Carter Ph.D. Dissertation Award in Dependability from the IEEE TC and IFIP Working Group 10.4 on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance.
