Institute for Information Sciences | I2S

Join leaders of I2S' Center for Cyber Social Dynamics for a deep dive exploration on the evolving dynamics people face in the presence of artificial intelligence. This virtual event will live stream on Monday, Sept. 23. For more information and to register, visit: https://shorturl.at/hoRDa #AI #I2S

I am excited to share the news of our recently awarded project with $1.2 million funding from the Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program of National Science Foundation. It is a collaborative project between University of Kansas, University of Florida, and University of Maine. Big share of credit goes to my collaborators Dr. Prabuddha Chakraborty and Dr. Swarup Bhunia! We aim to develop novel solutions to mitigate critical security threats in the semiconductor supply chain like hardware reverse engineering and IP theft. https://lnkd.in/gZKm-rHW

Congratulations to Michael Neises for successfully defending his PhD dissertation today! Great job, Michael!

Welcome back I2S students and faculty! Wishing you success on all of your endeavors during the 2024/2025 academic year. #GraduateResearch #ku #i2s

Congratulations, Suzanne! From your colleagues at I2S.

https://lnkd.in/gpNaThED ?? Exciting news from the KU Engineering community! ?? Heechul Yun, Associate Professor in KU Engineering's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and researcher at the Institute for Information Sciences (I2S), has been awarded a prestigious grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for his groundbreaking project titled "Effortless Data Locality Through Near-memory On-the-fly Data Transformation." In today's data-driven world, efficient and timely data processing is crucial. Yun's project aims to bridge the gap between memory technology and processors using specialized hardware units, called data transformation units (DTUs), to reorganize data on-the-fly, making processing much more efficient. ?? "This project proposes a novel software/hardware collaborative approach to improve data locality, enabling spatiotemporal locality effortlessly, without the need for heavy algorithmic re-engineering," says Yun. This collaborative research with Boston University has earned $396,000 for KU's Office of Research, including I2S, as part of NSF's Software & Hardware Foundation and is co-funded by NSF's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). The project runs through July 2028. Join us in congratulating Professor Yun and his team on this remarkable achievement! ?? #KUEngineering #NSFGrant #DataInnovation #ResearchExcellence #RockChalk #KU #Engineering #Innovation #Science ?? @kuengineering

Last week, I2S concluded our annual GenCyber Summer Camp for K-12 teachers! 28 educators joined our faculty for a full week of programs and breakout sessions geared toward providing them with a wide range of knowledge – from AI developments to cybersecurity to crypto technology – so they can update their student curriculum. Congratulations on a successful completion, campers! #i2s #cybersecurity #continuingeducation https://lnkd.in/gFdnjSyZ

Looking forward to the final week of the 2024 Kansas Blockchain Fellowship! Huge thanks to mentor Paige Jones for her in-person lecture on IPFS, Pinata, and Farcaster, and for securing Pinata as our Platinum sponsor. See you at the Closing Ceremony this Friday!

KU Blockchain Institute is halfway through their summer fellowship! Mentor Hudson Headley continues educating on the Applications of Blockchain, and the group is gearing up for this week’s class for a hands-on development workshop. Congrats Fellows! Keep up the good work! #blockchain #ku #i2s https://lnkd.in/g8eQp6nF
