I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Systems at Farmingdale State College. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from The Graduate Center, City University of New York and my M.S. in Applied Mathematics from Hofstra University. My research primarily focuses on game theory, particularly in the context of social networks. Additionally, I have a keen interest in exploring machine learning projects.
