S. Srinivasan (nickname Srini) joined TSU on August 1, 2013 as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Research as well as a Distinguished Professor of Business Administration. Prior to coming to TSU, I was the Chairman of the Division of International Business and Technology Studies at Texas A & M International University's A.R. Sanchez School of Business in Laredo, TX. I was there from 2010 to 2013. Before coming to Laredo, I spent 23 years at the University of Louisville (UofL) in Louisville, Kentucky. At UofL I held joint appointments in the Computer Information Systems Department in the College of Business and the Computer Science Department in the Speed School of Engineering. During my time there I started the Information Security Program as a collaborative effort of multiple colleges. I was Director of the InfoSec program until 2010 when I left for Laredo. The program was designated a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Education by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
I successfully wrote several grant proposals in support of the InfoSec Program. My first book on Cloud Computing titled “Security, Trust, and Regulatory Aspects of Cloud Computing in Business Environments” was published in March 2014 by IGI Global, Hershey, PA. The second book on Cloud Computing titled “Cloud Computing Basics” was published in May 2014 by Springer, NY. My area of research is Information Security. I am now working on a new project on Big Data Analytics. I have taught the Management of Information Systems course at the MBA level in US as well as in our international programs in El Salvador and Greece. I have spent my sabbatical leaves from UofL in Siemens at their R & D facility in Munich, Germany; UPS Air Group in Louisville, KY; and GE Appliance Park in Louisville, KY. Besides these industry experiences, I have done consulting work with US Army, IBM and a major hospital company in Louisville, KY.
