About Us

Our mission is to collaborate across disciplines to fortify cryptographic protocols, embed security awareness, and safeguard data from emerging cyber threats, especially in vulnerable populations. Our research interests span a wide range of areas, including cybersecurity, AI for cybersecurity, post-quantum cryptography, benchmarking quantum computing with classical computing on real-world problems, formal verification, automated reasoning, and security and privacy in gaming.

We also explore cybersecurity issues in emerging areas such as AI, including attacks on LLM chatbots, video game ethics and privacy concerns, and the development of models. Our research extends to quantum computing and the development of educational video games for training on cybersecurity topics such as phishing.

We provide diverse roles, including research, project management, literature reviews, data analysis, and coding. Our interdisciplinary approach caters to students from Information Science, Informatics, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Emergency Management and Homeland Security, and other related majors at UAlbany. The CCL collaborates with industry, government, and academic partners to drive impactful research and innovation.

Looking ahead, we aim to expand our research into new areas and continue developing solutions to pressing cybersecurity challenges.

The CCL is part of the College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, and Cybersecurity (CEHC) at the University at Albany.
