Jeremy J. Blum is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences at Penn State Harrisburg (PSH). His research interests include wireless networks, computer security, and the modeling and simulation of transportation systems. Recent research has focused the emerging wireless network that will connect vehicles to each other and the infrastructure, in order to support a range of advanced vehicle-infrastructure integration projects for safety and efficiency applications.

Prior to PSH, he worked as a Research Scientist at the Center for Intelligent Systems Research (CISR) at the George Washington University. At CISR, he worked on research projects to support a range of intelligent transportation systems and advanced vehicle safety. This research included drowsy/fatigued driver detection, intelligent speed adaptation, data mining of vehicle structural and accident record databases, and inter-vehicle communication. Prior to his work, he worked as a programmer for ten years in commercial and academic settings. At Oakhurst Systems, for example, he led the development of shrink-wrapped, sales-force automation software.
