Sharief


I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing, College of Computing and Digital Media, DePaul University. I am also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at Queen's University 

I founded the Next Generation Networking (NexGeN) lab at DePaul University, focusing on interdisciplinary development of IoT and Tactile Internet architectures. 

I received my PhD from the School of Computing at Queen’s University in 2013, under the supervision of Prof. Hossam Hassanein. 

My research interests span novel paradigms in sensor networks, advancing core technologies in the Internet of Things and synergy efforts in next generation context-aware sensing systems and content-centric networks. I am also working on the development of an agile architecture for the Tactile Internet, as part of the IEEE P1918.1 Standards Working Group. 


During my PhD studies at Queen’s, I spearheaded establishing the Graduate Computing Society (GCS), and chaired the first GCS-conference in 2010. In 2013, I took part in the 3 Minute Thesis competition at Queen's, and made it to the final round. 

The School of Graduate Studies at Queen's University has graciously included a short profile of me, featured here, courtesy of Sharday Mosurinjohn.

My CV is available upon request.
