Associate Professor Adam Ghazi-Tehrani joined the department as a tenured faculty member in August 2024. He came from the University of Alabama.
Adam Ghazi-Tehrani holds a B.A. from the University of California at Davis, an M.S. from the California State University at Long Beach, and both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Irvine. He is interested in regulatory, compliance, governmental, and societal factors on cyber and white-collar offenses.
His past work has focused on hidden crimes such as food adulteration, an attempt by the Chinese political apparatus to cover up a high-speed train crash, and on-going virtual threats from state-sponsored cyber actors.
Adam’s current work examines the factors that allow for ongoing cyber offenses, as well as the domestic regulatory and compliance issues in the United States that keep corporations and the public vulnerable, and the effects of both on global trade and security. This fall he will open is Cyber Crime lab where students will collaborate with him on his research.
