Software Engineering and Cybersecurity (SECL) at MSU (Lab Resume)

  Biographical Sketch:
 Dr. Izurieta is a professor in the Computer Science department at Montana State University.  Born in Santiago, Chile. His research interests include empirical software engineering, design and  architecture of software systems, design patterns, the measurement of software quality and cybersecurity. Dr. Izurieta has approximately 16 years experience working for various R&D labs at Hewlett Packard and Intel Corporation.  When not teaching, Clem and his wife(Sharlyn) can be found in the local trails, running, or hiking.
My Curriculum Vitae

Education:
 BS Math, University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia, 1987
 MS Computer Science, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, 1993
 PhD Computer Science, Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, CO, 2009

Research Interests:
    I am always interested in good students seeking advice for a master's project, thesis, or a doctoral dissertation.  In general, and before I decide to advise a student (thesis or dissertation) you must take both ESOF 322 and ESOF 422 and you must be in the top 20% of the class. Stop by if you have any questions.
