Professor Hamid R. Arabnia received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Kent (England) in 1987. He is currently a Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at University of Georgia, USA, where he has been since October 1987. His research interests include parallel and distributed processing techniques & algorithms, supercomputing, Data Science, imaging science, and other compute intensive problems. Applications of interest include: medical imaging and security. Most recent activities include: Studying ways to promote legislation that would prevent cyber-stalking, cyber-harassment, and cyber-bullying. As a victim of cyber-harassment and cyber-bullying, in 2017 he won a lawsuit with damages awarded to him for a total of $2.3 Million and $656K attorney costs. Since this court case was one of the few cases of its kind in the United States, this ruling is considered to be important; Final Judgement for damages was issued in Leon County Courthouse of Tallahassee in Florida by Circuit Court Judge. Prof. Arabnia is Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Supercomputing (Springer). He is also on the editorial and advisory boards of 30 other journals. He is the book series editor-in-chief of "Transactions of Computational Science and Computational Intelligence" (Springer). He has won 12 distinguished awards, including the "Outstanding Research Contributions to the Field of Supercomputing" (President of IEEE/SMC) and "Distinguished Research Award" for Outstanding Contributions to Adaptable Communication Systems (ACM SIGAPP IMCOM). Dr. Arabnia is Fellow and Advisor of Center of Excellence in Terrorism, Resilience, Intelligence & Organized Crime Research (CENTRIC). He has been a PI/Co-PI on about $8 Million externally funded projects, about $200K internally funded projects, and about $4 Million equipment grants. During his tenure as Director of Graduate Programs, Dr. Arabnia secured the largest level of funding in the history of the department for supporting the re
