About this REU Site
This Site focuses on the cybersecurity research for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The site integrates fundamental and state-of-the-art cybersecurity research using UAVs as the platform. Participants will join the Cybersecurity and Assured Systems Engineering (CyBASE) Center and the Wireless Devices and Electromagnetics (WiDE) lab for research. REU participants will engage in faculty-led projects such as UAV cyber-attacks, UAV cyber defense mechanisms, privacy protection methods for UAV communications, and Physical Layer-based cybersecurity. By conducting diverse but coherent research projects, participants will acquire extensive knowledge and practical experience in cybersecurity research for UAVs.
Highlights
Students will work full time on individual cybersecurity research projects for ten weeks
$6,000 stipend in total for each participant
On-campus housing and meals provided as needed
Up to $600 travel expenses to and from the REU site
