Dr. Victor Govindaswamy teaches Computer Science courses at CUC and his research involves real time distributed systems and software engineering. Other research interests include security, telemedicine, telehealth and green technology.

He was previously involved with the United States’ Department of Defense Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) sponsored Dynamic, Scalable, Dependable, Real-Time systems (DeSiDeRaTa) middleware project. The project enables applications to work in dynamic environments and with dynamic workloads, without the need for the application developers/ programmers to write massive pages of code to provide these services.

He serves as director of CUC’s Youth Robotics, Apps and 3D Programming (RAP) Summer Camps. His CS-4NE1 (STEM-4NE1) initiative aims to bring and popularize STEM fields to middle and high school kids. A mentoring program is also provided for the camp participants.
