Bio	Moshe Kam (Ph.D.,P.E.) is the Robert Quinn Professor and Department Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Drexel University. He also serves as the Technical Coordinator of the US Department of Defense funded project ACIN (Applied Communication and Information Networking) and as Director of the Drexel University's Center for Excellence in Information Assurance Education. Kam served as Principal Investigator on more than 20 large-scale projects funded by the NSF, ONR, NSWC, the US Army, Lockheed Martin, and DARPA. Educated in Tel Aviv (B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering 1977) and Drexel University (M.S. 1985, Ph.D. 1987), Kam is a Fellow of IEEE "for contributions to the theory of decision fusion and distributed detection," (2001) and recipient of an IEEE Third Millennium Medal. He received a National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award (1990-1995) and is a Licensed Professional Engineer registered in the State of Pennsylvania. He served IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) as Vice President for Educational Activities and as Director of Region 2 (Eastern USA).
Additional Information	I spend part of my work week at the ACIN Center in Camden, NJ where a group of 12 Drexel University faculty and close to 50 students work on projects sponsored by the US Army CERDEC and other DoD units focused on supporting the warfighter. Projects include modeling and simulation of large scale communication networks, design and implementation of mobile ad hoc networks, and design and testing of new military communication subsystems. The ACIN Center is also the development site for Drexel's Secure Wireless Agent-based Testbed, SWAT.
Lab	Data Fusion Laboratory
Lab Description	The Data Fusion Laboratory studies Sensor Fusion, Detection and Estimation, Distributed Detection, and Robot Navigation. We work on theoretical models as well as on physical prototypes, and you can always find in our lab crawling robots, small rockets in construction, and sensor networks under testing. There are some twenty-five researchers in our facility, from freshmen that make their first steps into the discipline, to full time professors that provide advice and guidance. Since the lab was established in 1989 we have graduated 21 students with a Ph.D., more than 60 with an M.S. degree, and 15 with B.S./M.S. degrees.
Lab	Drexel University Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education.
Lab Description	The Drexel University Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education coordinates and organizes scholarly and educational activities in the areas of information assurance; information, network and computer security; and related areas such as cryptography, information theory, and radiating systems. These activities span several Colleges, namely the College of Engineering, the College of Information Sciences and Technology, and the Goodwin College. Courses and modules on Information Assurance are also offered at the College of Medicine, the College of Business, and the College of Law.
