Faculty

Professor Saghafi served as Computer Science / MBA Faculty, Dean / Director of Continuing Education also as the Chair of IT college, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, in many different countries and 4 different continents. She also teaches both on-campus and in the distance learning programs, often combining the students in both modes. Her research is on:

• Understanding how and why a quantumcomputer is more powerful than a classical one
• Quantum fault-tolerance anderror-correction — necessary for achieving scalable quantum computation
• Simulation of quantum systems in general and quantum computers in particular, on classical and on quantum computers
• Design of quantum algorithms: what would you do with a working quantum computer?
• Building scalable quantum processors and quantum memory
• Optimization of quantum control signals, circuits, and programs
• Developing tests for quantum hardware: is it really quantum?

Professor Saghafi’s research in programming languages includes object-oriented programming for Web Implementation and E-Commerce; there are ASP, JavaScript, and VBScript, using various applications like IBM Web Sphere, MS FrontPage and Cold Fusion, Visual Web Developer. She uses the web programming language extensively in her research and teaching and is committed to its broadening use and continued refinement. her research interest is in digital and wireless communications, Digital Media and  Biomedical Image Processing.

She is working on the Youth Employment Strategy to create internships for post-secondary graduates in “high-demand fields”. Also, she is working on the Canada Accelerator and Incubator programs to help organizations provide business development services to businesses and entrepreneurs;

With involving different countries collected data she also works on establishing an OpenData Board.

Also, she is working on developing a PC based virtual reality system (PC-VRS) for the medical market that can be marketed at a price which is accessible to its possible end-users (hospitals, universities, and research centers) and which would have the modular, respectability and interoperability characteristics that the existing systems lack; to develop three hardware/software modules for the application of the PC VRS.

Professor Saghafi is conducting research in asynchronous learning networks and distance education, and infrastructures for future educational software.   She has vast research experience over topics in relation with Quantum Computers, web2 and using mobile capability in teaching and as part of distance education, working research on VRS Virtual Reality Systems, Web software development, open source software development, agile development approaches, business intelligence/Analytic and Big Data analysis.

She is SAP consultant/trainer and a professional member of ACM, International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security ICCWS, International Conference European Conference on eGovernment – ECEG, QA auditor for IQEF  and member of Canada’s Association of Information Technology Professionals  CIPS.

She is a professional member of ACM, QA auditor for IQEF  and member of Canada’s Association of Information Technology Professionals  CIPS. Also,     a Certified CompTIA, CASP /Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Project Management Professional. Trained in 2014 for Design and Development of Educational Technology and Design and Development of Games for Learning from MIT.

Professor Saghafi has enormous experience in Development of programs and curriculum for technical Colleges and Universities around the world programs in E-learning /Distance Education, Computer Science, MBA program with IT concentration, MBAwith the concentration in PM approved by the ministry of education for University and Colleges, in various part of the world. She is the director of Interdisciplinary Research ConsultingBoard (IRCB) which mainly aims to facilitate research and contribute to the maturation of the research in Higher Educational Institutions and help and encourage faculty members to conduct research.

Her teaching interest is on any subject which provides tangible outcome for students in Computer Science and CIS. Various courses in Cybersecurity, Databases /Data Science /Blockchain Technology, Software Engineering , Quantum Computing and AI.

She is Multilingual, and have knowledge of  5 different languages. She presently works as a Computer Science Faculty and Computer Science / MBA Online Program/Course Developer / Consultant Expert at University.
