À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ

On November 28th, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ unveiled the future of software engineering with its second Project Showcase for the graduate course Engineering Self-Adaptive Software Systems (ESASS). Led by Dr. Ladan Tahvildari, this innovative course, with support from IBM, integrates cutting-edge industry technologies with research-driven, hands-on learning to tackle real-world challenges in software adaptability.

Congratulations to Ryan Liu, a PhD student in electrical and computer engineering (ECE); Shreya Shinde, ECE alum from the MEng program; Dr. Ladan Tahvildari, Professor in ECE; and IBM collaborators Dr. Mark Stoodley, Dr. Marius Pirvu, and Vijay Sundaresan on their remarkable achievement!

Their paper, "Using Semeru Cloud Compiler to Enhance Cloud-Native Java Application Performance," was honored with the Best Paper Award at the 34th International Conference on Collaborative Advances in Software and Computing (CASCON).

Congratulations are in order for electrical and computer engineering professor, Dr. Ladan Tahvildari.  Tahvildari was recently elected to the Board of Governors of the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS) for a three year term beginning 1 January 2025.

Today, fifty-four new Fellows were elected to the Canadian Academy of Engineering - one of those new Fellows is University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ electrical and computer engineering professor, Ladan Tahvildari.

Professor Tahvildari is a global expert in software quality addressing challenging problems related to the architecture, security, and testing of dependable systems. She pioneers techniques and tools that aid with the construction, analysis, and maintenance of large-scale software systems, leading the way to outsmarting cybersecurity threats. By creating strategic linkages between academia and industry, she is cultivating and strengthening Canada’s talent in the field. Elected twice, for two consecutive terms, Tahvildari is the first woman and second Canadian, to serve as Chair of the IEEE CS Technical Community on Software Engineering – the world's largest professional organization devoted to computer science.
