" National
Science Foundation grant entitled "Module-based Courseware and
Laboratory
Development for Teaching Secure Wireless Sensor Networks" - Dr. Bo Sun and Dr. Lawrence Osborne
"Dr. Bo Sun and Dr. Lawrence Osborne have received a $71,324 National Science Foundation grant entitled "Module-based Courseware and Laboratory Development for Teaching Secure Wireless Sensor Networks". The goal of this program is to develop a set of modules to teach students the fundamentals of secure wireless sensor networking. A testbed for wireless sensor networking will be set up in the Department of Computer Science at Lamar University. This testbed will enable students to develop, deploy, and test interesting projects. Funding will support the program for two years. "
The National Science Foundation Grant for INSPIRED Program
The National Science Foundation has awarded Lamar University a $490,000 grant to support its "Increasing Student Participation in Research Development" - INSPIRED - program. The goal of the program is to demonstrate that by using INSPIRED strategies schools can increase the number of women and minorities getting computing degrees to help meet the growing demand for talented professionals in the field of computer science. Strategies for INSPIRED include engaging students in an enriched research plan with tutoring, mentoring and peer support; helping students bridge to advanced study or careers in computing; dispelling misconceptions about computer science that discourage participation of women and minorities; and engaging INSPIRED students in outreach programs for under-represented middle and high school students. Funding will support the program for three years, beginning Sept. 1, 2007. Computer Science Professor Dr. Peggy Doerschuk and Assistant Professor Dr. Jiangjiang Liu will direct the activities of the INSPIRED Program, and Psychology Assistant Professor Judith Mann will direct the assessment of the INSPIRED Program. Dr. Bo Sun - "Secure Aggregation for Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks"
Dr. Bo Sun received a grant for "Secure Aggregation for Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks" from the Texas Advanced Research Program (ARP) Amount:$48,781 Project Description: This project aims at designing a lightweight and effective Wireless Sensor Network Intrusion Detection System (WSNIDS) to detect malicious behaviors exhibited by compromised sensor nodes in large-scale WSNs. This grant will sponsor Dr. Sun's research from June 2006 to June 2008.
