This summer, the Department of Computer Science at Boise State University is hosting a Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) program on Data-driven Security.
Application deadline: December 31, 2020. THIS YEAR THE PROGRAM WILL BE HELD IN A VIRTUAL FORMAT.
In summer 2021 (June 1 – July 30) the Department of Computer Science at Boise State University will host a nine-week interdisciplinary undergraduate research program, Data-driven Security, focusing on applying data science and artificial intelligence to mitigate cyberattacks and other security risks and threats.
Applications are welcomed from current undergraduate students who have a strong interest in computer science, mathematics, or engineering. This intensive program will expose up to ten undergraduate students to topics in cybersecurity (intrusion and threat detection, lightweight cryptography, side-channel attacks), misbehavior detection, national security (e.g., counter-terrorism), and misinformation mitigation. The program aims to immerse undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds in all facets of research in computer science and mathematics in a culture of close and daily collaboration with faculty.
Students who are also members of groups underrepresented in STEM fields or who are enrolled in a minority-, women’s-, or non-doctoral institution are particularly encouraged to apply.
