Dr. Kshirasagar (Sagar) Naik is a Full Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Previously, he held faculty positions at Carleton University in Ottawa and University of Aizu in Japan. He worked as a software developer for three years in Wipro, Bangalore – now one of the largest software consultancy companies in the world. His research interests include Internet of Things (IoT), energy performance testing of mobile applications, detection of anomalous behavior of wireless devices and cyber-physical systems, energy harvesting IoT devices for sustainable monitoring of physical systems, security of communication and cyber-physical systems, communication protocols for smart power grids, and adversarial machine learning. Designing mathematical models and building prototype sensor networks for performing real-life, controlled experiments lie at the core of his research. He has served on the editorial boards of many journals, including: Journal of Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications, International Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems, Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers, and IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems. He was a co-guest editor of four special issues of IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications and IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing. He is a co-author of two widely used textbooks, namely, Software Testing and Quality Assurance: Theory and Practice (Wiley, 2008) and Software Evolution and Maintenance: A Practitioner’s Approach (Wiley, 2014).
