Cyber Security and Information Sciences
Creating new tools for cyber defense and human language processing
We research, develop, evaluate, and deploy tools and systems designed to ensure that national security missions can be accomplished successfully despite cyber attacks. We also develop advanced hardware, software, and algorithms for processing datasets from a range of sources, including speech, imagery, text, and network traffic.
