College of Engineering and Computing

This certificate provides a broad understanding of small satellite missions and operations and of technologies for spacecraft design and engineering including satellite bus, hardware and software systems, and communications.

More than 100 PhD students from electrical and bioengineering, data science, computer science, neuroscience and the social sciences, including some with disabilities, will be trained to use state-of-the-art data analytic methods and wearable computing technologies based on novel transdisciplinary competencies, applications and practice curriculum.

Research Interests: Data science, statistics for big or high-dimensional data, simultaneous inference, multiple comparisons, selection bias, measurement errors, mixtures, causal inference, semi and nonparametric analysis, machine learning, biostatistics, random fields, crowdsourcing, EHR and Text analysis, the interface of statistics and computer science, and other interdisciplinary work.

Research interests: Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP), vulnerability assessments and mitigations, probabilistic risk evaluation and risk management, security engineering, blast modeling and mitigation of effects, facilities engineering, and facilities management.
