Hello! I'm Amanda
I'm an assistant professor in the Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I got my Ph.D. degree in Industrial Engineering from Pennsylvania State University in August 2020. My research interests cover the broad areas of security of systems, machine learning, and cognitive modeling.
