REU Site: An REU Site on Security for Mobile Sensing

本科生研究经验(REU)网站奖资助哥伦布州立大学一个新的REU网站，专注于安全和移动传感。REU网站每年夏天将为8名本科生提供机会，与最先进的研究实验室的教师导师合作，开展网络安全和移动传感等重要领域的项目。移动计算设备及其相关的传感能力和应用程序在我们的社会中无处不在。这些设备和通过相关应用程序收集的数据的安全是所有公民的重要关切。该网站将为学生提供一个探索和深入研究相关和及时的计算领域的机会。REU网站将受益于哥伦布州立大学(CSU)新的网络安全中心。CSU还被国家安全局设计为信息保障教育学术卓越中心。学生还将参加一些专业发展活动和实地考察，为他们未来的职业生涯做好准备，成为网络安全领域的计算机专业人员，这是未来劳动力迫切需要的领域。该网站由国防部与NSF REU项目合作支持。该项目由一位杰出的教师导师领导，指导本科生探索与安全和移动传感相关的问题。该网站的目标是激发本科生的热情，并为那些本来可能没有机会在自己的机构获得研究经验的学生提供研究经验。该网站将特别寻求从该网站有潜力的计算领域代表性不足的群体中招收学生，该网站将通过研究和实施安全和隐私、智能数据收集和分析、室内定位方法以及移动传感器网络环境的电源管理机制的算法、框架和应用程序，为移动传感和安全领域做出贡献。计算机安全和移动传感是许多消费产品的基本组件，也是医疗保健、交通运输和交通控制、家庭和建筑自动化、环境监测和能源等社会重要领域的许多常见应用。这些都是应该吸引学生的领域，并积极让他们参与到对计算机研究社区有意义和与所有公民相关的项目中。

This CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site award funds a new REU site focused on the security and mobile sensing at Columbus State University. The REU site will provide 8 undergraduates per summer the opportunity to work with faculty mentors in state-of-the-art research labs on projects in the important areas of cybersecurity and mobile sensing. Mobile computing devices and their associated sensing capabilities and applications are pervasive in our society. Security of these devices and the data that is collected through related applications is an important concern to all citizens. This site will give students an opportunity to explore and delve deeply into an area of computing that is relevant and timely. The REU Site will benefit from access to the new Cybersecurity Center at Columbus State University (CSU). CSU was has also been designed as a Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the National Security Agency. The students will also participate in a number of professional development activities and field trips that will prepare them for future careers as computing professionals in the field of cybersecurity, an area of critical need for the workforce of the future. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.The project is led by an outstanding of faculty mentors to guide undergraduates in explorations of problems related to the security and mobile sensing. The goal of the site is to excite undergraduates and to provide research experiences to students who might not otherwise have opportunities for research experiences at their own institutions. The site will particularly seek to recruit students from groups under-represented in computing fields The site has the potential to will contribute to the field of mobile sensing and security through research and implementation of algorithms, frameworks, and applications for security and privacy, intelligent data collection and analysis, indoor location methods, and power management mechanisms for mobile sensor network environments. Computer security and mobile sensing are fundamental components of many consumer products as well as many common applications in areas such as healthcare, transportation and traffic control, home and building automation, environmental monitoring, and energy that are important in our society. These are all areas which should appeal to students and actively engage them in projects that are meaningful to the computing research community and relevant to all citizens.
