Biography
Dusan Ramljak, assistant professor of software engineering, joined Penn State Great Valley in 2021. He has applied data science on storage systems problems in NSF IUCRC projects with HPE, Dell, Huawei, and other companies and has more than 20 years of system admin experience facilitating business and research in various universities, institutes, and companies in the USA, Portugal, and Serbia. His research interests include solving challenging storage systems, provenance and caching problems, as well as developing and integrating distributed and parallel data mining and statistical learning technology for an efficient knowledge discovery at large sequence and temporal databases. Dr. Ramljak has developed and taught courses in computer and information science, systems control, mathematics, and electronics and mentored students doing CS research. He has co-authored dozens of publications and made numerous reviews for scientific journals and conferences. He has been actively supporting student initiatives and initiatives to bring science closer to a wider audience.
