Graduate Assistantships

Title: Software Engineering and Cyber Security
Required Skills: Java and Eclipse IDE
Summary: Seeking undergraduate students who can help conduct data collection and analysis from open source projects in Git (e.g. Android mobile apps). The research project is to design and develop a novel software technique and tool (e.g. software plug-in components) that automatically detects potential security problems and provides a set of code repairs that can be applied to resolve the identified problems. Therefore, the tool would help developers correctly implement cyber security algorithms in mobile apps that secure data and communications, providing confidentiality, integrity, and authentications based on solid mathematical foundations.
