CBEE students & faculty highlighted: UMBC LSAMP
2021 - 2022 Annual Report
The UMBC LSAMP 2021-2022 Annual Report highlights involvement in the UMBC LOUIS STOKES ALLIANCE FOR MINORITY PARTICIPATION (LSAMP) program. LSAMP participants have access to individualized advising, campus workshops, funded research experiences, and national and international conferences to strengthen their STEM identity and promote entry into top graduate programs.
We want to specifically celebrate the achievements of those pursuing their bachelors of science in chemical engineering and the departmental faculty supporting their efforts.
"...sometimes you feel as if you're not making much progress but then you come to understand that your data can be helpful to others. My PI has taught me that my role in the research lab is valuable and that routine observations can lead to progress in an experiment. "

"As I increase my involvement in my research project, I begin to appreciate the knowledge I
have acquired over my academic career. Knowledge that I previously thought would be
unnecessary began to gain purpose in my head as I used it everyday in the lab. Even topics
that I knew would be important in my future career were very abstract. But to my surprise
and relief, I was able to apply the concepts earlier than expected as an undergraduate
researcher. This turned these abstract ideas and theoretical concepts into a useful tool that
made my job possible and easier."

"One thing I’ve become increasingly grateful for when it come to LSAMP is their effort in connecting me
with a faculty member that cares about me. I’m so appreciative to finally have a mentor figure during
my college career, and I couldn’t have asked for a more guiding mentor. My mentor has encouraged me as
a student researcher and as a prospective graduate student. We have had several meetings to discuss
graduate school, and he has offered to help guide me through the application process. This type of
encouragement is something I’ve really needed throughout college, and I’m grateful to finally have it.

PhD defense: Knowledge Graphs & Reinforcement Learning,

Ph.D. Dissertation Defense
Knowledge Graphs and Reinforcement Learning:
a Hybrid Approach for Cybersecurity Tasks
10:00am -12:00pm ET, Monday July 10, 2023
Dissertation Committee: Drs. Anupam Joshi (Chair/Advisor), Charles Nicholas, Chenchen Liu, Filip Perich, Joysula R. Rao, Sudip Mittal, Tim Finin
With the explosion of available data and computational power, machine learning and deep learning techniques are being increasingly used to solve problems. The domain of cybersecurity is no exception, as we have seen a significant amount of research in the recent past using data-driven machine learning approaches for different tasks.
Rule-based and supervised machine learning-based approaches are often brittle in detecting attacks, can be defeated by adversaries that adapt, and can't use the knowledge of experts. To address this problem, we propose a novel approach for cybersecurity tasks that leverages the supply of 'explicit' knowledge expressed as Knowledge Graphs, as well as the data-driven approaches of machine learning to ascertain the 'tacit' knowledge. The inspiration for this hybrid model is drawn from the manner in which security analysts work, combining their background knowledge with observed data from host and network-based sensors.
We focus on the tasks of malware detection and mitigation policy generation. We are specifically interested in the capability of synthesizing variants of a malware that can be further enhanced to detect unseen attacks. We combine the knowledge that is explicit with explorations in the 'action space' of detecting novel malware attacks as well as mitigating them. Analysts use past experiences and actions that they have taken when faced with attacks that manifest characteristics similar to the new one. The other component of their approach is exploring new `actions' that might be taken to respond to a novel malware, guided by their understanding of the domain. These steps can be considered as a 'trial and error' based approach. In this dissertation, we describe knowledge graph construction techniques from open-source text as well as several Reinforcement Learning based algorithms, guided by explicit background knowledge encoded in a knowledge graph, that best mimics the approach of security analysts. We observe that the efficiency of RL algorithms has increased by ~4% by incorporating prior knowledge. We also observe that in simulated environments RL policies are able to generate more precise mitigations with the help of prior knowledge.

Women's Center Summer Reading List
Looking for some new reading material? Check these out!
Hello UMBC Community!
Learning to recognize and combat forms of injustice and move toward a more equitable world is a lifelong process. A great practice towards this aim is to read different perspectives and be reflective as you do. Check out the following books that our Women's Center Advisory Board selected as their top suggestions:
Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?
In We Will Not Cancel Us, movement mediator adrienne maree brown reframes the discussion for us, in a way that points to possible paths beyond our impasse. Most critiques of cancel culture come from outside the milieus that produce it, sometimes even from its targets. Brown explores the question from a Black, queer, and feminist viewpoint that gently asks, how well does this practice serve us? Does it prefigure the sort of world we want to live in? And, if it doesn’t, how do we seek accountability and redress for harm in ways that reflect our values?
You Are Your Best Thing edited by Tarana Tarana Burke and Dr. Brené Brown bring together a dynamic group of Black writers, organizers, artists, academics, and cultural figures to discuss the topics the two have dedicated their lives to understanding and teaching: vulnerability and shame resilience. Contributions by Kiese Laymon, Imani Perry, Laverne Cox, Jason Reynolds, Austin Channing Brown, and more.
Over the past ten years, we have witnessed the rise of queer and trans communities that have defied and challenged those who have historically opposed them. Through bold, symbolic imagery and surrealist, overlapping landscapes, queer illustrator and curator Syan Rose shines a light on the faces and voices of these diverse, amorphous, messy, real, and imagined queer and trans communities. In their own words, queer and trans organizers, artists, healers, comrades, and leaders speak honestly and authentically about their own experiences with power, love, pain, and magic to create a textured and nuanced portrait of queer and trans realities in America.
Happy Summer Reading!

Is Humanity on the Brink? A Talk About AI
Anupam Joshi and Bobby Zirkin explore AI's benefits & risks
UMBC's
Anupam Joshi discussed Artificial Intelligence and its future benefits and risks with former Maryland state Senator Bobby Zirkin in the third segment of his new weekly podcast. You can watch the 44 minute conversation, titled
"Is Humanity on the Brink?", on Senator Zirkin's
ACROSS the AISLE site or listen to it on any of several podcast services.
CSEE Professor
Alan Sherman and his colleagues received the Best Paper award in the Computing Education Research Track
at the 2023 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium. The symposium is the main ACM conference for computer science educators and has been held annually since 1970.
The paper, Psychometric Evaluation of the Cybersecurity Curriculum Assessment, was based on joint research with collaborators at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Minnesota, Duluth. It describes the Cybersecurity Curriculum Assessment (CCA) tool used to evaluate students' cybersecurity knowledge after they have completed a multi-course curriculum.
The paper provides a detailed evaluation of how 193 students answered 25 questions based on different scenarios and identified which questions were better at recognizing the students who understood the underlying concepts best and could apply them to real-world situations.
The research builds on early work on a
Cybersecurity Concept Inventory, which was used to assess students' conceptual knowledge of
cybersecurity following a first course in the subject.

Learn Lean 4 programming language & proof assistant
Join an informal group meeting 1-3 Wed. this summer
Interested in learning to write computer-checked math proofs?
Interested in learning an exciting new programming language?
Lean 4 is a new programming language that can be used to write code that's literally bug-free. It enables this because at its core, it is a proof assistant that verifies math proofs. A global community of mathematicians and computer scientists are building a database of formally verified math proofs across the undergraduate curriculum, as well as proofs at the frontiers of modern math.
This summer, an informal group of mathematicians, computer scientists, physical scientists, and engineers at UMBC will be learning Lean 4. Come join us -- all are welcome!
We will meet weekly this summer from 1-3 pm EST on Wednesdays, June 28 to August 23 in ILSB 233, as well as online for those not able to attend in person.
