Mallorca 2019 |
Since 2018, I have been laying the foundation to bringing social scientists and computer scientists together in order to produce better knowledge in cybersecurity. I am engaged in establishing enduring institutions that will change the field of cybersecurity. At Georgia Tech (GT), I am one of the founding faculty members of the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy (20% appointment (2021-2023)) that is the first of its kind, an international, interdisciplinary school devoted to research and education in cybersecurity and privacy. I established the Cybersecurity Summer Institute (CSI) at GT. While political science fields have a number of intensive summer program, none existed for cybersecurity until now. Outside of GT, I co-organized the Digital Issues Discussion Group (DIDG) — a collaborative and interactive bi-weekly online workshop series with the aim of encouraging excellent and innovative research on issues related to global integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) — that currently has more than 200 cybersecurity scholars and practitioners. Through the CSI and DIDG networks, I began bringing new and diverse voices into cybersecurity research and the educational community and the policy and technical worlds closer together.
