REU Site: Cybersecurity Research in a Multidisciplinary Environment

这个奖项建立了一个新的研究经验的本科生（REU）网站在老自治领大学。 REU网站由该大学网络安全教育和研究中心（CCSER）的教师领导。 CCSER包括来自整个大学的大量部门和学院的教师，可以提供一系列多学科的研究项目，重点关注对本科生重要和有吸引力的问题。 REU网站将接待来自全国各地的10名学生在夏季与教师导师进行研究。 学生将生活在与CCSER相关的网络安全生活和学习社区。 该项目计划每年夏天招募一批多样化的本科生，包括来自代表性不足的少数民族、妇女和退伍军人的学生。 除了他们的研究活动，学生将参加其他专业发展活动，这将为他们进入计算劳动力和可能的未来作为研究人员做好准备。REU网站由来自网络安全教育和研究中心的教师导师领导。该中心的教师有显著的研究专业知识，并提供国家的最先进的设施，应该提供一个引人注目的研究经验，本科生。这个REU网站提供了独特的多学科学习和研究机会，为本科生在固有的多学科网络安全学科。学生将探索多个学科的主题，包括网络，机器学习，决策科学，社会学，刑事司法和哲学。学生将由一个多学科的指导委员会与来自至少3个不同领域的教师提供建议。这种方法应该促进学生之间的多学科合作，并提高他们对网络安全这一重要领域职业的兴趣。

This award establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Old Dominion University. The REU Site is led by faculty from the Center for Cybersecurity Education and Research (CCSER) at the university. CCSER includes faculty from a large number of departments and colleges across the university that can provide a range of multidisciplinary research projects that focus on problems that are important and attractive to undergraduates. The REU Site will host 10 students from across the nation to conduct research during the summer with faculty mentors. The students will live in the Cybersecurity Living and Learning Community associated with CCSER. The project plans to recruit a diverse cohort of undergraduate students each summer, including students from under-represented minorities, women, and veterans. In addition to their research activities, the students will participate in other professional development activities that will prepare them for entering the computing workforce and for possible futures as researchers.The REU site is led by faculty mentors from the Center for Cybersecurity Education and Research. The faculty of the Center have significant research expertise and offer state-of-the-art facilities that should provide a compelling research experience to undergraduates. This REU site offers unique multidisciplinary learning and research opportunities for undergraduate students in the inherently multidisciplinary cybersecurity discipline. Students will explore topics across multiple disciplines including networks, machine learning, decision science, sociology, criminal justice, and philosophy. Students will be advised by a multidisciplinary mentoring committee with faculty from at least 3 different areas. This approach should promote multidisciplinary collaborations among students and increase their interest toward careers in the important field of cybersecurity.
