Student Projects
A number of projects are available for undergraduate, masters and PhD
students in Computer Science. Successful candidates should have proficient
security and programming backgrounds. In particular, students are expected to
have background in operating systems (CS4118), Networks (for example,
CS4119 or EE6761) and/or network security (CS4180).
Most programming projects require a computer science account. Students can
apply for CS accounts on line.
The fees for the CS account will be paid for by Prof Angelos Keromytis.
Students will be assigned PhD mentors to guide their progress in the project.
Undergraduate students should first enroll in 3998, then
4901 and then 6901. Graduate students typically enroll in
6901. It is possible to enroll in the spring or fall for a
two-semester project covering the summer semester.
At most 3 points of W3998 can be counted towards the CS degree. Similarly, at
most 3 points of W4901 can be counted.
