🎉🔬 CSIT Faculty & Student Cybersecurity Research Spotlight 🔬🎉 This summer, our Dr. Sabrina Perry partnered with undergraduate student researchers Christine Page and Floyd Dodwell through the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) Sustainable Research Pathways Program to work on an exciting cybersecurity and AI research project called PHANTOM. 🚀💻🤖

Together, the team explored how attackers can silently manipulate multi-camera traffic tracking systems and developed methods to detect and defend against these threats. 🛡️🚦🔍 Through this hands-on research experience, Christine and Floyd gained valuable experience in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data analysis, and collaborative research.

🌟 The project was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Armstrong Aboah at North Dakota State University, providing our students with the opportunity to work alongside researchers from another institution. Christine and Floyd even traveled to NDSU to present their research findings during live final presentations, showcasing their hard work and professionalism. ✈️🎓📊

👏 Please join us in congratulating Dr. Sabrina Perry, Christine Page, and Floyd Dodwell on this outstanding achievement and their contributions to cutting-edge AI and cybersecurity research!
