Robin Gandhi

Robin Gandhi is the Associate Dean of Research, Technology and Facilities in the College of Information Science and Technology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He currently holds the Charles W. and Margre H. Durham Distinguished Professorship and is a Professor of Cybersecurity.

His research interests are in software security engineering, requirements modeling and analysis, data preservation for scientific workflows, and system certification and accreditation. He serves as a CWE/CAPEC Board Member.

Robin Gandhi received his Ph.D. in Information Technology from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Since the security of systems is a design problem, his work focuses on developing and assessing models that promote problem-solving in security engineering activities. He has designed courses and training materials that promote a culture of software security engineering in development processes.

His efforts have brought software security engineering, as part of a larger systems certification perspective, to the forefront of U.S. federal assessment and authorization processes for IT systems. In his spare time, he enjoys bike rides with his kids, pickleball, and exploring new hiking trails.
