Home Teaching Spring 2009 Research Seminars Conferences C-LAC NYWIMN IJOPCM Student Supervision CV	Delaram Kahrobaei is an Assistant Professor in Mathematics in the New York City College of Technology (City University of New York) since September 2006. She is a doctoral Faculty at The CUNY Graduate Center, Ph.D. Program in Computer Science since May 2008. She was previously a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at the Mathematical Institute, University of St Andrews (2004-2006). Kahrobaei has completed her Ph.D. in Mathematics at the CUNY Graduate Center (October 2004), a Master's in Computer Science at the City College of New York (September 2004), a Master's in Applied Mathematics at Claremont Colleges (1999) and a Bachelor's in Mathematics and Computer Science at Sharif University of Technology (1998). She has done substantial research in Mathematics and computer science both as individual and as a team member, her work is attracting strong international interest and many invited talks. She is also keen to teach mathematics and computer science at both undergraduate and graduate levels and for the past eight years she has done so, both at Hunter College of CUNY, at University of St Andrews and now at New York City College of Technology of CUNY. She has been awarded substantial prestigious research grants and intends to apply for more grants from government agencies. Her research interests lie primarily in the areas of infinite combinatorial group theory, and their applications in theoretical computer science particularly algebraic cryptography as well as interaction between combinatorics, logic and number theory. Delaram is the director of C-LAC, Center for Logic, Algebra and Computation. She co-founded with Victoria Gitman the New York Women in Mathematics Network (NYWIMN). The aim of NYWIMN is to promote the participation of women in mathematics by establishing close ties between women mathematicians, encouraging cooperation in research, and supporting the next generation of women students. The second NYWIMN conference, funded by NSF, was on May 2^nd 2008 (http://www.nywimn.net). Here are links to press about this network (in Payvand, Brooklyn Eagle, AMS, News Blaze) She is a co-PI of the Advance-IT-Start NSF Grant. City Tech will research, reflect upon, and plan a transformational initiative for women STEM faculty that will improve the professional climate and enable women to realize their full professional potential unimpeded by either structural barriers posed by the institution or more subtle forms of self-limitation that arise from gender stereotyping and societal expectations. Delaram is co-organizing New York Algebra Colloquium, C-LAC Seminar, Cryptography Seminar, and City Tech Math Seminar Series. She is a member of Algebraic Cryptography Center. She is the member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Open Problems in Computer Science and Mathematics (http://www.ijopcm.org). In Spring 2009 Kahrobaei is teaching an undergraduate course in Discrete Structures and Algorithms II and a PhD course in Group Theory, Finite Fields and their Applications in Computer Science in Doctoral Program in Computer Science at the CUNY Graduate Center. In Fall 2009, Kahrobaei will be teaching Finite Fields, Coding and Cryptography. Curriculum Vitae
