Rate My Professor Rajeev Raje

Rajeev R. Raje is a Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science within the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering and serves as Associate Dean for Planning, Finance, and Faculty Affairs in the School of Science at Indiana University Indianapolis, formerly known as Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). He earned his Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Engineering from Syracuse University in 1994 and a B.E. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Bombay in 1984. Before entering academia, he worked as a Project Engineer in the Controls and Automation Systems Engineering Division at Siemens Limited in Mumbai, India, from June 1984 to August 1987. Dr. Raje joined IUPUI in August 1994 as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science, progressed to Assistant Professor from 1996 to 2002, Associate Professor from 2002 to 2009, and full Professor from 2009 to the present, with his professorship continuing in the renamed department as of July 2024. His research interests encompass distributed and service-oriented software systems, programming languages, and software engineering. He co-directs the Software Engineering and Distributed Systems (SEDS) group and has led several funded projects, including CDASH: Community Data Analytics for Social Harm Prevention; TruSSCom: Trustworthy Software Service Selection and Composition; e-DOTS: Distributed Heterogeneous Indoor Tracking; UniFrame: A Framework for Seamless Interoperation of Heterogeneous Distributed Software Components; RealCV: Creating CVs to Reflect Reality; and Detection of Multi-lingual Cyberbullying Behavior. These efforts have received funding from agencies such as NSF, ONR, DHS, Microsoft, S2ERC, and Indiana University.

Dr. Raje holds Senior Member status in both ACM (2014) and IEEE (2014). His accolades include the IUPUI Trustees Teaching Award in 2010 and 2001, IUPUI School of Science Service Award in 2020, first-place win as a project participant in NSF’s COVID Challenge Faculty category in 2022, Best Paper Presentation Award at the 20th IEEE ICCIT in 2017, and multiple Certificates of Appreciation from ACM SIGAPP (2024, 2025) and others. He has delivered keynote and plenary talks, such as at the 3rd International Virtual Conference on Recent Trends in Advanced Computing (2020) and the 2nd International Conference on Network Infrastructure Management Systems (2013). Selected key publications include “A QoS-based Framework for Creating Distributed and Heterogeneous Software Components” (Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 2002), “Distributed Computing Applications of Context-Aware QoS and Trust Prediction Framework” (IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, 2024), “E-SERS: An Enhanced Approach to Trust-Based Ranking of Apps” (Software, 2024), and “Improving social harm indices with a modulated Hawkes process” (Spatial Economic Analysis, 2018). His contributions have advanced trustworthy distributed systems and applications in social harm prediction and software composition.
