Les Sztandera, Dr. Les M. Sztandera is an Associate Professor of Computer Information Systems at Philadelphia University. He has been involved in information systems teaching and research since 1987. Dr. Sztandera has 12 years of full time university teaching experience, and is a recipient of a Teaching Excellence Award. He developed a sequence of information systems courses coupled with laboratory assignments in which students work with real life problems, such as detecting an industrial pollutant, predicting strength and density of materials, designing a medical expert system, simulating protective systems in complex power generating units, detecting carcinogenic dyes, or designing new drugs.
Complementary with his teaching effort, Dr. Sztandera has been involved in a variety of research activities. That has resulted in numerous research grants from the Department of Commerce, National Textile Center, National Science Foundation, Ohio Supercomputer Center, Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center, and American Heart Association. Over $1,000,000 in research funding has been experienced. Those research activities also resulted in 30 journal publications and 50 conference presentations.
Dr. Sztandera received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Toledo, Ohio, U.S.A., with a dissertation on Fuzzy Sets in Self-Generating Neural Network Architectures. He earned his M.Sc. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Missouri, Missouri, U.S.A., with a thesis on Spatial Relations Among Fuzzy Subsets of an Image, and a Diploma in English from University of Cambridge, Cambridge, England.
Dr. Sztandera is a member of professional organizations in the U.S. and Canada: the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society, Association for Computing Machinery, and Canadian Society for Fuzzy Information and Neural Systems. His scientific and scholarly research contributions to the fuzzy set theory are internationally recognized. He proposed, designed, and implemented fuzzy neural trees. For this and other contributions to the fuzzy sets and systems theory, he was included in the Encyclopedia of Computer Science and Technology, 1999 Edition. Dr. Sztandera is also listed in the Marquis Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, Who’s Who in America, and Who’s Who in the East.
Prof. Sztandera has been named Distinguished Fulbright FLAD Chair in Information Systems at the Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal, for the 2002-2003 academic year.
