Dr. Kam is the Robert Quinn Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Drexel University. He is the Director of Drexel University's NSA Center for Excellence in Information Assurance Education, is the PI in the present DoD-funded project "Information Assurance for Secure Mobile Agent" ($1.6M - March 2003 to June 2004) and is the PI on additional projects funded by the National Institute of Justice, DoD (TSWG), and the Office of Naval Research. Previous research was performed under grants from DARPA, NASA, NSF, DISA, the FBI, Battelle Memorial Institute, Motorola and Honeywell. Within the field of information assurance Kam has contributed to the study of user revocation in ad-hoc networks, and the use of multiple detection algorithms for fault detection and isolation. He is responsible for the multi-layer security algorithms in the ad hoc wireless test bed SWAT, and exported some of these algorithms for applications in communication over the power grid and in multiple robot coordination. He has published in the Proceedings of the IEEE; 8 of the IEEE Transactions, Automatica, Information Fusion, and the Journal of Forensic Science. Kam was a recipient of an NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award (1990), and an IEEE Third Millennium Medal. He is a member of the Board of Directors of IEEE (2003-2004).
