TSYS School’s Abid has Sights Set High

Turner Business recent had the opportunity to chat with Riduan Abid, an associate professor of computer science in the Turner College’s TSYS School of Computer Science. A Fulbright Research Scholar, Abid joined the TSYS School faculty in January of 2022 from a faculty position at Alakhawayn University in Morocco. In announcing his arrival at that time, Turner Business noted that he earned a doctorate in computer science from Auburn University, after which he served on the faculties at Purdue University and the University of Houston. During our recent chat, we mentioned to Abid that he was closing in on 1,000 Google Scholar citations, and we asked what he thought about that fact. His reply was straightforward and bold, “I’m looking forward to closing the 1,000 citations milestone this year, and increasing the pace after joining CSU.” This is the type of answer that the TSYS School’s stakeholders – current students, alumni, private sector supporters, etc. – should be excited to hear because it indicates that the future of the organization is bright, and investments in it will be worthwhile. The first part of Abid’s statement also rings true, as a recent check of his Google Scholar citations count reveals that he currently sits at 855 total citations, with 37 of these arriving during the first 2.5 months of 2023. Needing only 145 more citations, and having garnered 194 during 2022, he’s on pace hit the milestone before year’s end. Although it is Abid’s prior research that will carry him over the milestone, we also asked him what he is currently working on in terms of research. He indicated that he is working on projects related to Cloud computing, which is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. Abid also stated that he has other projects in the works related to data analytics, which involves the extraction of information from raw data using specialized computer systems. Stay tuned to Turner Business for updates on the research being done by Abid and other faculty in the Turner College.
