越南直播 Ph.D. graduate Muneer Alshowkan<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is now a research scientist in the Quantum Communications and Networking Group at the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.<\/a><\/p>\n

At UB, Alshowkan earned his doctoral degree in Computer Science and Engineering<\/a>, and at graduation he was recognized with the prestigious School of Engineering Academic Achievement Award for excellence. \u201cI came to know Muneer when he was a Ph.D. student and I was his dissertation advisor for five years,\u201d says Dr. Khaled Elleithy<\/strong>, Dean of the College of Engineering, Business, and Education and Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research<\/a>. \u201cHe is energetic and bright, one of those graduate assistants who is open and receptive to new ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since it was established in 2006, UB\u2019s Ph.D. program in Computer Science and Engineering has graduated 75 students. Students must display a thorough understanding in the major areas of computer science and engineering<\/strong><\/a> and must master the necessary tools and techniques to be able to make original contributions to the field.<\/p>\n

One of the newest and most interesting topics to study is quantum computing and cybersecurity. When Dr. Elleithy offered a 600-level Quantum Computing course, it was an emerging discipline. Alshowkan took the class during his second semester and jumped at the chance to focus his ongoing research in this exciting discipline. \u201cI like challenges, and this seemed to be a really challenging field,\u201d he says. \u201cI also wanted to work in cybersecurity, and quantum added a layer of security that cannot be broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a Ph.D. student, Alshowkan worked in UB\u2019s Wireless and Mobile Communications Laboratory<\/a> and collaborated with Dr. Elleithy on several research papers in high-impact journals and conferences, including IEEE and ACM. He presented one paper at an important conference in Long Beach, California. \u201cIt added to my credentials and helped with my career,\u201d he says with enthusiasm. His dissertation, \u201cDeterministic and Efficient Three-Party Quantum Key Distribution,\u201d demonstrates a key distribution protocol and provides a window into the future of computing.<\/p>\n

Today, Alshowkan is one of many UB Ph.D. graduates who work at national and international universities, for industry leading companies, and in national research laboratories. UB\u2019s focus on practical, hands-on research is one reason for their success. \u201cEveryone at UB is doing research, even in the early stages when there is no pressure to publish yet. We were encouraged to research and publish as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his job at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, Alshowkan designs, implements, deploys, and secures quantum and classical networks for the nation\u2019s largest science and energy national laboratory. He continues to address new engineering challenges as quantum networks become the wave of the future. \u201cThe field is growing and there are many opportunities for jobs,\u201d he says. \u201cI would encourage anyone to follow their dreams and pursue engineering at UB.\u201d<\/p>\n
