Dr. Casimer DeCusatis
Associate Professor of Information Technology and Systems; Director of Cybersecurity Education
Bio
Dr. Casimer DeCusatis leads cybersecurity education and research for the School of Computer Science and Mathematics, including the cybersecurity major and minor, summer pre-college program, student education and research security operations center (SOC), and various National Science Foundation research efforts. He is a former IBM Distinguished Engineer and IBM Master Inventor, with over 150 patents.He is the recipient of several industry awards, including the IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Award, the Sigma Xi Walston Chubb Award for Innovation, the EDN Innovator of the Year Award, the Mensa Research Foundation Copper Black Award for Creative Achievement, the Penn State Outstanding Scholar Alumnus Award and Mark Luchinsky Memorial Lecture, and the IEEE/HKN Outstanding Young Electrical Engineer award (including a citation from the President of the United States and an American flag flown in his honor over the U.S. Capitol). He is co-author of more than 200 technical papers, book chapters, and encyclopedia articles, and editor of the Handbook of Fiber Optic Data Communication (4th edition). Dr. DeCusatis received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, N.Y.) in 1988 and 1990, respectively, and the B.S. degree magna cum laude in the Engineering Science Honors Program from the Pennsylvania State University (University Park, PA) in 1986. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, Optical Society of America, and SPIE (the international optical engineering society), a member of the Order of the Engineer, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and various other professional organizations.He is also Founder and Director of Hudson Valley FIRST Lego League, a pre-college robotics programming competition that serves over 1,000 pre-college students each year.
