Louisa Harutyunyan, PhD

MS Computer and Information Science (CIS) Program Chair, Assistant Professor

Louisa Harutyunyan joined CSE in 2016 as an adjunct lecturer. In 2020 Louisa Harutyunyan was appointed as the Program Chair of MS in Computer and Information Science program. Prior to joining AUA she was a postdoctoral researcher for two years at LIP6, Sorbonne Universités, Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris 6. Louisa obtained her
PhD in Computer Science at the University of Concordia in 2014. Her doctoral research was centered on designing algorithms for efficient data dissemination in wireless networks. She received a Master of Computer Science in 2009 from Simon Fraser University, and a Bachelor of Honours Computer Science in 2007 from Concordia University. Her research interests lie in the areas of mobile and distributed computing, designing of algorithms for mobile ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, and approximation algorithms for routing in distributed networks. In 2020 Louisa Harutyunyan was appointed as the Program Chair of MS in Computer and Information Science program.
