- Other Engineering Projects
Problem
Cybersecurity concepts — particularly at the hardware level — can be abstract and difficult to teach, while demand for a trained security workforce continues to grow.
Technical approach
- 01Develop interactive frameworks that let learners engage with security concepts hands-on.
- 02Use immersive AR/VR experiences to support education and workforce development.
My contributions
- Lead author of the IEEE FIE 2024 paper presenting an interactive framework for cybersecurity education and workforce development.
- Co-author of the ASEE 2025 paper on personalized education with generative AI and digital twins.
