Biography

Dr. Hassan Reza is a Professor of Software Engineering at the University of North Dakota (UND), with additional affiliations at North Dakota State University and UND Biomedical Engineering. He has been a technical member of the Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) since its inception. He is actively involved with both the UND Research Institute for Autonomous Systems (RIAS) and the National Academy of Inventors as a member of the UND community.

As Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI), Dr. Reza has contributed to securing more than $37 million in research funding from prestigious organizations including the Department of Defense (DoD), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National Science Foundation (NSF), NASA-EPSCoR, Rockwell Collins, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).

His research expertise covers a wide spectrum of areas, including architectural modeling of data- and software-intensive systems, design tactics for AI-enabled systems, model-based engineering of cyber-physical systems (with emphasis on avionics and medical applications), software testing methodologies, engineering of safety- and security-critical systems, and the integration of blockchain and AI technologies.
