Dr. Uwe Glässer is a Professor of Computing Science and Associate Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science at Simon Fraser University (SFU). Dr. Glässer is also the STAR (Science and Tech for Aging Research) Node Co-Lead for the Point of Care Health Technologies Team. Dr. Glasser's research interests include big data intelligence, situation analysis and decision support, criminal network analysis and cybersecurity. His work concentrates on applied computer science, spanning three fields: industrial applications of formal methods, software technology for intelligent systems, computational criminology and security informatics. A common element is computational logic and discrete mathematics for analyzing, modeling and reasoning about distributed and mobile systems in a wide range of application fields, including communication protocols, multi-agent architectures, situation analysis decision support systems, and system design languages. More recent work focuses on modeling of complex social systems: ambient assistive living, computer models in the study of crime and criminal network analysis.
