Speakers

Dr. Guy-Vincent Jourdan

Dr. Guy-Vincent Jourdan

Professor, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

In a few short years, Dr. Guy-Vincent Jourdan has established himself as a world leader in software security systems. Since the beginning of his career, he and his team have consistently been involved in numerous research partnerships, winning multiple awards and attracting substantial funding. The strength of his approach to collaborative research is in his desire to address industry’s pressing problems, rather than to advance his own research agenda. His contributions to initiating and fostering research partnerships are outstanding. Due to his continued research excellence, the University of Ottawa now hosts one of only three Cyber Ranges in the world, ours being the only one with an academic component, in partnership with IBM.
