Research Resources
We warmly invite students who are self-motivated and passionate about science and technology to reach out and join us to make this world a better place. Go Broncs!
- FuTech Lab: Our lab focuses on researching future-oriented technologies. We aim to drive positive and transformative changes in broader society by advancing cutting-edge innovations and exploring next-generation technologies. Our current research centers on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security, with an emphasis on the robustness, privacy, and safety of Agentic AI systems and emerging quantum-enabled systems. By joining this lab, students could apply for up to 3 credits of CYB/CSC 490 Independent Research & Creative Expression toward their graduation.
Some of the inspring work from our talented students are highlighted below. We are truly excited and proud of our students:
