Ethan Cecchetti and Nathan Malkin—both of whom recently received doctorates in computer science from Cornell University and UC Berkeley, respectively—will start at the Maryland Cybersecurity Center (MC2) in September.

Her most recent work focuses on investigating a specific neuronal cell type that syncs mammals' sleep/wake cycle—known as circadian rhythm—to the sun cycle.

A multidisciplinary and international team—including Distinguished University Professor emeritus Ben Shneiderman—has proposed independent auditing methods as a mechanism to enable reliable, safe and trustworthy AI systems.

A team of researchers led by QuICS Fellow Alexey Gorshkov has found a quantum protocol that reaches the theoretical speed limits for certain quantum tasks. Their result provides new insight into designing optimal quantum algorithms.

The paper introduces a new algorithm for efficiently building a compacted de Bruijn graph from collections of input genome or transcriptome sequences.

The Distinguished Career Award is the organization’s highest honor, acknowledging scientists and scholars who have a significant impact on their respective fields of study.

The project is led by third-year computer science doctoral student Niall Luke Williams, a researcher in the Geometric Algorithms for Modeling, Motion, and Animation (GAMMA) lab.

The one-year project will be tested in several recreational areas in Montgomery County and Prince George’s County, Maryland.

The study examines how sex workers—who tend to have especially salient security and privacy risks—conceptualize and manage their digital safety across multiple devices.
