Jay Yang: S. Jay Yang is currently a Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering and Director of Global Outreach for Global Cybersecurity Institute at Rochester Institute of Technology. Supported by NSF, NSA, IARPA, DARPA, AFRL, ONR, and ARL, his research team has developed several pioneering machine learning, attack modeling, and simulation systems to enhance cyber situational awareness and enable anticipatory cyber defense. His earlier works included FuSIA, VTAC, ViSAw, F-VLMM, CASCADES, CAPTURE, and attack obfuscation modeling. More recently, his team has developed ASSERT, HeAT-PATRL, and CLEAR-ROAD. He was a NSF Trusted CI Open Science Fellow in 2019 and TTP Fellow in 2020, and received IEEE Region 1 Outstanding Teaching in an IEEE Area of Interest Award – for outstanding leadership and contributions to cybersecurity and computer engineering education
Richard Biever: Richard Biever is Duke University's chief information security officer and a senior director in the Office of Information Technology. He has served in previous roles with the Georgia Institute of Technology's Office of Information Technology and Hewlett Packard. Under Richard’s leadership, Duke University has developed a strong, collaborative office working with university departments, research faculty, other higher education partners to develop and enable effective cybersecurity defenses at Duke. STINGAR, a Duke-developed and NSF-funded threat intelligence and sharing initiative, is currently being deployed beyond Duke with a number of higher education partners. More information on STINGAR may be found at https://stingar.security.duke.edu.
Inna Kouper: Inna Kouper is Director of Researcher Engagement for the ResearchSOC and a Research Scientist at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indiana University Bloomington. She studies emerging technologies and data practices and works on projects that advance open science and data sharing. She is involved in several large-scale projects funded by the National Science Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services to study communities of data producers and consumers, promote data stewardship and develop innovative methods of data collection, analysis, and preservation. Kouper has undergraduate and masters degrees in information systems, a PhD in sociology and a PhD in information science.
