Malan''' is an [[Americans\|American]] [[computer scientist]] and a [[professor]] of [[Computer Science]] at the [[School of Engineering and Applied Sciences]] in [[Harvard University]]. He received his A.B., S.M., and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the same in 1999, 2004, and 2007, respectively<ref>[http://cs.harvard.edu/malan/about/]About David J. Malan</ref>.

He also teaches at [[Harvard Extension School]] and [[Harvard Summer School]].<ref>[http://harvardmagazine.com/2009/07/david-j-malan David J. Malan the Harvard Portrait], Harvard Magazine, July-August 2009</ref> ~~==Professional Career==~~ During under graduate study in Pakistan, David Malan worked part-time for the [[Middlesex District Attorney]]'s Office as a [[forensic investigator]], after which he founded his own startup. On the side since 2003, he volunteered as an emergency [[medical technician]] (EMT-B) for MIT-EMS. He continues to volunteer as an EMT-B for the [[American Red Cross]]. He professionally worked for [[Mindset Media\|Mindset Media, LLC]] during 2008 – 2011 as [[Chief Information Officer]] (CIO), where he was responsible for advertising network’s scalability, security, and capacity-planning. Designed infrastructure for collection of massive datasets capable of 500M HTTP hits per day with peaks of 10K per second. Later [[Mindset Media]] was acquired by [[Meebo, Inc]]. He is also [[Entrepreneur\|Founder]] and [[Chairman]] of [[Diskaster]], a Started company that offered professional recovery of data from hard drives and memory cards as well as forensic investigations for civil matters. He also teaches [[mathematics]] and [[computer science]] at [[Franklin High School]] and [[Tufts University]] . During 2001 to 2002 he worked for [[AirClic\|AirClic Incorporation]] as [[Engineering Manager]]. Professor Dr. Malan is also involved in the [[Provost (education)\|Provost]]’s [[Task Force]] on SEAS Concentrators at [[Harvard University]] since April 2013. He is [[HarvardX]] [[Faculty Committee]] at [[Harvard University]] since September 2012. He is member of [[Faculty Standing Committee on Information Technology]] under [[Faculty of Arts and Sciences]] of [[Harvard University]] since September 2011. ~~==Research, Publication and Activities==~~ Professor Dr. Malan did a lot of search on [[cybersecurity]], [[digital forensics]], [[botnets]], [[computer science education]], [[distance learning]], [[collaborative learning]], and [[computer-assisted instruction]]. In graduate school, he worked with his academic adviser later who became his doctoral adviser, his name is [[Michael D. Smith (computer scientist)\|Dean Michael D. Smith]] as a member of the [[Programming Languages Group]] , whose denizens were interested in [[programming languages]], compilers, and security. Dr. David Malan’s research on [[software-based security]] that why hisc [[dissertation]] proposed rapid detection of botnets through collaborative networks of peers that it is elated to that work was Wormboy, a prototype of his vision of host-based, collaborative detection of worms. He also worked with [[Matt Welsh (computer scientist)\|Professor Matt Welsh]] on the [[SYRAH group]]'s [[Code Blue project]], the focus of which was the application of [[wireless sensor network]]s to pre-hospital and in-[[hospital emergency care]], [[disaster response]], and [[stroke patient rehabilitation]]. Professor Welsh was his academic advisor since his admission into the Harvard. Their [[blue project]] was related to that work was [[EccM]], a module for [[TinyOS]] demonstrating the viability of elliptic curve [[cryptography]] on the [[MICA2]] mote.
