dean leave-taking

I

t has been my privilege over the last six years to serve as dean of the Syracuse University College of Engineering and Computer Science.

Having recently been tapped by Chancellor Syverud for a Universitywide leadership position, I will be transitioning to this new role over the next several months.

In looking back, I see a college that has been transformed: 30 new faculty members including five endowed chairs; over a dozen new laboratories; record undergraduate and graduate enrollment; a budget that has grown from $52 million to $80 million; and new academic programs in areas such as cybersecurity, energy engineering, and infrastructure management.

A recent strategic planning project at the College employed survey research techniques to determine the key characteristics of the College, as identified by students, faculty, alums, and staff – and found that a shared sense of community was the common denominator. This is a truly remarkable achievement for a world-class, research-intensive engineering and computer science college.

Another outcome of the strategic planning effort was the identification of six research areas of strength for the College – allowing us to focus

our resources on specific areas of specialization and differentiation, including Smart Materials for Medicine and Beyond, Cyber Engineering and Security, Intelligent Wireless Systems, Smart Water Systems for Sustainability, Advanced Energy, and Rehabilitative and Regenerative Engineering.

Perhaps most important to me is our success in creating new ways of engaging our students.

With support from alumni donors and the National Science Foundation, the College has funded a robust undergraduate research program; entrepreneurship competitions and mentoring; a multidisciplinary student shop and makerspace; a reimagining of the first-year design experience; and hands-on learning opportunities in numerous courses throughout the curriculum, among others.

With the commencement of the spring semester, Department Chair Chilukuri Mohan will become the interim dean of the College.

Under his able direction, I am certain the College will continue its legacy of leadership in engineering and computer science education and scholarship.

THE MOON, MARS,

& MOORE Student Rebecca Moore’s Summer Journey with NASA

FALL 2014 4

T

he first time Rebecca Moore landed on the moon, her execution was near impeccable. She eased down less than a meter away from her target. Countless flight hours helped prepare her for that. Now, heading into her second attempt, a last-minute change in the landing site has sent her careening off course and she is in for a rough landing. Fortunately, the lunar module she is piloting is easily reset and she’s back on Earth, ready for her next attempt in mere minutes. This time it’s a perfect landing—course change and all.

5 SYRACUSE ENGINEER

Of course, this is not happening in the vacuum of space. Rather, it is all part of a simulator that Moore had the opportunity to pilot during her summer internship and part of a very real experience that was a dream come true for her. For 400 hours this summer, Moore was an intern at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, where Neil Armstrong and many others were trained on lunar module test articles for the Apollo missions and where much of the organization’s aeronautical research takes place. In a place with so much history, she was hard at work on her future—contributing to the research of two big projects and taking advantage of every opportunity to form connections and learn from astronauts and aeronautics professionals.

As a kid, space exploration always held a special interest for Moore, but it wasn’t until the summer before her senior year in high school that she decided she wanted to work for NASA someday. It was then that she was offered a chance to work with a team of professors and college students at RIT on a project funded by NASA. She contributed to research that focused on tracking coronal mass ejections from the sun to Earth to better understand their behavior and the impact that the radiation would have on a potential Mars colony. Her discovery of the subject matter set her on her current trajectory toward a future in aerospace engineering.

“I’d love to be an astronaut, but if I can’t be the one blasting off into space, I want to do something that supports the people who do,” explains Moore.

When it became time to select a college, she knew that she needed to find a program that would put her on a collision course with NASA. After a campus visit in which Moore was shown a video of Syracuse University students taking a ride on a zero-g aircraft (also known as the “vomit comet”), it became clear to her that SU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science could provide her with what she wanted in an academic program.

Moore acclimated to her new life as an aerospace major in no time. She took full advantage of having access to the College’s Fidelity MOTUS 622i flight simulator through her Aircraft Performance and Dynamics course and “flew” every chance she could. She performed well in her classes and settled comfortably into life at SU with the support and mentoring of faculty and staff. Moore, a student so passionate about flight, was even named a Remembrance Scholar, in honor of the SU students who lost their lives in the downing of Pan Am 103, a tragedy that impacted the University tremendously. She had made great strides and accomplished a lot, but she wasn’t completely satisfied with all that. After all, she wasn’t at NASA yet.

Her chance finally came when she met Cynthia Claudio, a recent aerospace graduate, who had participated in an internship at Langley a year before. With the help of Gina Lee-Glauser, vice president of research at SU, she applied to the Langley Aerospace Research Summer Scholars Program. Lee-Glauser helped connect Moore with SU alumnus Marlyn Andino, ’06, ‘09 at NASA, where she was able to discuss possible projects. And then—she learned she was accepted.

“It was amazing to me that access to this I’d love to be an astronaut, dream experience could be that easy,” but if I can’t be the one says Moore.

Moore didn’t know what to expect blasting off into space, I when she arrived at Langley, but she want to do something that had a plan.

“I knew I needed to take supports the people who do advantage of every moment and try to figure out what I wanted to do after I graduate. I needed to network and make connections. And I needed to use good time management skills to fit it all in.”

The first project that Moore was assigned to was working on sweeping jet actuators, which help make an aircraft more aerodynamic in flight.

The nature of the project left time for her to attend seminars, classes, and networking events at Andino’s suggestion. To her surprise, Moore found that she had landed in an environment as supportive as SU. Moore discovered that NASA was conducting a study related to something called the Radworks storm shelter. The project was working to develop new ways to protect astronauts from high levels of radiation from solar particle events, such as coronal mass ejections and solar flares. “I immediately saw the similarities to the program

I was a part of in high school that ignited my interest in working with NASA.” In an action that demonstrates Moore’s drive, she researched the project and was able to make contact with one of its engineers. She was offered the opportunity to work on the project but hesitated because of her existing commitment to her mentor and branch. But Andino encouraged her to pursue her passion.

Working on this study, along Moore joined the Radworks study with the supportive nature of and spent the remainder of her her mentors and her goal to internship working with a radiation form valuable connections, protection simulation computer gave Moore a truly amazing, database in which she and the team identified how the objects and materials educational internship that are present in spacecraft and space stations can be used to shield astronauts from radiation. This study is important because engineers want to provide protection without adding mass to spacecraft.

What better way to do this than to use the things that are already part of the spacecraft? For example, hydrogen-based materials are able to provide the best protection. Anyone who has ever taken a chemistry class knows that water is two parts hydrogen and, naturally, it is necessary that the astronauts have a rather substantial supply.

The study proposed lining the astronauts’ sleeping quarters with bags of water, approximately two inches thick. When the amount of radiation increases during a solar event (which lasts on average ~36 hours), this provides a place to take cover that can shield them from up to 50 percent of the harmful particles that are able to penetrate the craft.

Working on this study, along with the supportive nature of her mentors and her goal to form valuable connections, gave Moore a truly amazing, educational internship. Two things that she now knows for sure—that there is tremendous value in the relationships that we form during our education, and that passion can translate into success like she experienced at Langley. Whether her path leads to outer space or an actual landing on Mars remains to be seen.

But, with strong technical knowledge, her open, willing-to-learn attitude, and the support of her mentors, you can bet that Rebecca Moore will make her mark on the aerospace industry.

eter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. This is a tongue twister we are all familiar with. But for a child with a cleft palate, this sentence is extremely difficult.

A cleft palate occurs when the two palates that make up the roof of the mouth don’t join together completely. This condition can cause both feeding and speech issues for the one child in 700 who is born with the defect.

Normal speakers use airflow through the mouth to say most sounds, with the exception of m, n, and ng. Until the cleft palate can be repaired, there is an open connection between the child’s oral and nasal cavities. Air leaks through this gap, causing the child to have too much airflow through the nose, a condition known as hypernasality.

While surgery is a common solution to remedy the structural defects associated with cleft palate, children often struggle to relearn how to speak properly and require speech pathology intervention. Although speech pathologists worked to develop techniques to teach patients how to properly form words, measurement of progress was a challenge.

Glottal Enterprises (named after the glottis—a part of the throat that generates the voice) emerged as a company out of Professor Emeritus Martin Rothenberg’s Speech Research Laboratory, which specialized in voice research and the development of non-invasive techniques for the measurement of vocal function during speech and singing. Rothenberg joined Syracuse University’s faculty in 1966 to pursue his passion—speech and the human voice.

Glottal’s circumferentially vented pneumotachograph mask, also known Glottal Enterprises has as the CV mask or the Rothenberg aided countless people Mask, is the most widely used with disabilities. Singers measurement device. The mask and researchers alike enables the measurement of airflow in speech without significant muffling or have also benefited from distortion. It has been instrumental in Rothenberg’s technology. helping post-op cleft palate patients ensure they are speaking properly.

The formation of Glottal has allowed Rothenberg to supply other voice and speech research laboratories with the equipment developed in his SU laboratory. The company’s patented airflow and pressure measurement tools are found in leading research centers worldwide.

Although Rothenberg left SU many years ago, Glottal Enterprises has maintained strong connections to the University. Of the company’s eight employees, three are SU graduates. Four of the company’s interns are current students.

The company has proved to be a springboard for students eager to innovate like Rothenberg— including his own daughter, Marcia Rothenberg ‘86, who majored in electrical engineering at SU and currently works at Glottal. For the last five years, she has served as her father’s right-hand woman at the company.

Glottal Enterprises has aided countless people with disabilities. Singers and researchers alike have also benefited from Dr. Rothenberg’s technology. This year, Dr. Rothenberg will be stepping down from his position at Glottal Enterprises and hand the reins to his daughter.

He will be teaming up with yet another SU grad to embark on a brand-new venture.

an end and a

beginning When Dean Laura J. Steinberg stepped to the podium to deliver her convocation address in May, it was a momentous occasion and a time to reflect and embrace the change she has brought about over the past six years.

“Today, we are here to celebrate both the culmination and the commencement of a journey of discovery,” said Steinberg.

This was true not only for the hundreds of graduating engineers and computer scientists, but for her as well. This was her final convocation as dean as she prepared to assume a University-wide leadership role at SU in the fall.

Her time at the College has been marked by tremendous growth with the addition of 30 new faculty, record undergraduate and graduate enrollment, the opening of innovative spaces like the Syracuse Biomaterials Institute, and the expansion of opportunities for students and faculty in research and academic study.

Through a robust strategic planning initiative, Dean Steinberg sought to focus the College’s efforts on areas where it could have the greatest impact. The plan helped the College identify ways to leverage the strengths of SU, to distinguish itself, and to enhance its reputation among aspirational and peer institutions. She invigorated the College’s alreadystrong commitment to delivering leading-edge engineering and computer science education and invested in faculty who demonstrated a drive to create best-in-class teaching environments.

One result of the strategic planning process was an effort to uncover the essence of what makes the College such a rewarding place to work, learn, and discover. The idea of “The Spirit to Seek” emerged from that work. This message stems

from the inscription in the University’s seal, “Knowledge crowns those who seek her,” but also reflects the unending spirit that infuses the lives of faculty, students, staff, and alumni at SU. “Inscribed in the middle of the University seal, this statement, this motto, defines our institution and the ideals we strive to achieve. The message is timeless because the pursuit of knowledge is both a rewarding and eternal quest,” said Steinberg.

The message also reflected Steinberg’s attitude as she stepped out of her current role and into her new role as a University leader. In her own way, last May was as much a commencement for her as it was for the seniors in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. She will undoubtedly always have, “The Spirit to Seek.”

In her selection of faculty and students, and in formulating the key components of the College’s strategic plan, Dean Steinberg demonstrates a commitment to educational excellence. The quality of education at the College and the avenues faculty and students are exploring demonstrate that a commitment to excellence can and does inspire others.

There are many achievements that could be highlighted, but one of the major achievements is the development of the College’s Strategic Plan. This plan is necessary for the College since it is the road map for going forward and will fit into the direction that the chancellor is taking the University.

Trustee John Breyer President and CEO, MI Technologies

Laura’s support for bringing in the highest-quality graduate students is commendable— I agree entirely with her perception that outstanding graduate students are vitally important to maintain outstanding research. Hopefully we can continue the momentum she initiated as we move forward. I expect her compassion for helping people, her commitment to engineering, and her talent in working on interdisciplinary problems can be a great strength in helping Syracuse University use its competitive advantages to expand the accomplishments and reputation of the University.

magine a large haystack piled before you. Now imagine being asked to search for one or two teeny tiny needles in that haystack. The analogy of a needle in a haystack may be a bit clichéd, but that is exactly the problem that often faces students and faculty who endeavor to go through the process of sorting cells.

Without modern technologies, the process of separating certain cells from a culture for research could be very time-consuming. And for some studies, such as the work Ph.D. student Ali Adem Bahar is doing with persister cells, it couldn’t be done at all. The cells he’s looking for make up such a small percentage of the cells in his samples that the exercise of sorting cells is very much like searching for a needle in a haystack.

A new cell sorter is pushing the boundaries of student research

Funded by the National Science Foundation, a team led by Professor Dacheng Ren recently acquired a BD Special FACSAriaTM cell sorter for the new Syracuse University Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Core Facility to promote cutting-edge research by automatically sorting cells with high efficiency and accuracy, even if they appear in low percentages.

The persister cells that Bahar is researching are found in chronic infections. They are highly resistant to antibiotics and are what cause certain infections to be incurable. In order to best examine these cells, he requires that they be separated from the other cells in his samples.

Today, when Bahar and students like him need to sort the cells in a sample, they reach out to Grace Altimus, the flow core operator in the Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Core Facility.

imposing, noisy piece of equipment, but it works expeditiously to accomplish its task. The entire process takes only an hour, and in the end, Bahar is able to study a useful set of persister cells. The sorted cells can be analyzed, and in some cases, even cultured. “It’s helping my research greatly.

There are certain things that we were forced to assume about persister cells, but there was no way to prove that we were correct. With this equipment, we can do that now. This machine has pushed the boundaries of our research,” said Bahar.

In addition to the BD Special FACSAria™ cell sorter, the facility features a BD Accuri™ C6 flow cytometer. Both instruments are new and capable of processing a variety of samples, including those designated biosafety level II. Soon, the experience will be extended to undergraduate students in the bioengineering program as part of their coursework.

Professor Ren was selected to receive this year’s Faculty Excellence Award. The award provides summer funding for faculty to develop innovative, new student educational experiences. The funding

that Ren received went into integrating the new facility into the biomedical and chemical engineering curriculum.

Securing the

Cybersphere D

escending into Dubai, five faculty from Syracuse University marveled at the expansive network of roads, ports, and railways interwoven between awe-inspiring buildings rising high into the air. But the reason for their trip was not to discuss the sprawling landscape of civil and construction infrastructure. The University had invited members from industry and academia across the Middle East to discuss something we cannot see, but which impacts almost every moment of our personal and professional lives—securing the cybersphere.

The Middle East region is no stranger to cyber threats. On August 12, 2012, an attempt was made to take down Saudi Aramco’s computer system.

Valued at nearly $10 trillion, this oil and petroleum company is the world’s most valuable company.

The attack infected the hard drives of over 30,000 computers within Saudi Aramco’s system.

After a period of 10 days, the company was ultimately able to get its network back online.

The attack served as a wake-up call to all major corporations, not just to Saudi Aramco, that the need for investment in a division of cybersecurity professionals had become equally as important as divisions of finance, human resources, and operations.

As part of this trip to the Middle East, the delegation of faculty including Dean Laura J. Steinberg, Senior Associate Dean Can Isik, and professors Shiu-Kai Chin, Bill Banks, and Wenliang (Kevin) Du had the opportunity to 13 SYRACUSE ENGINEER

U.S. Ambassador Michael H. Corbin

travel to Dammam in Saudi Arabia to meet directly with leadership from Saudi Aramco as well as their lead academic partner, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, to discuss opportunities for future partnership. It was clear from these meetings that all attendees shared a common goal—to promote the importance of cybersecurity education with the objective of closing the gap in demand for professionals who can address the shifting landscape of cyberdefense and who can meet the evolving needs of industry.

The main purpose for the journey to the Middle East was to hold two symposia, one in Dammam and one in Dubai, to highlight recent and emerging research, strategies and best practices in systems assurance, and mobile and web security from an academic point of view combined with industry and government presenters.

SU’s faculty researchers are particularly active in application areas in which there is a need for

high confidence that a system behaves correctly and securely, such as defense and national security operations, medical record systems, banking and financial institutions, and critical infrastructure.

“Security and integrity depend on people as much as technology.

These systems won’t design and build themselves. We need thousands of engineers and computer scientists capable of doing the mathematical analysis and leadership in support of designing, verifying, procuring, and operating cyber systems,” said Shiu-Kai Chin, professor and director of the Center for Information and Systems Assurance and Trust.

The Dammam symposium, hosted at the GE Innovation Center, was widely attended by industry professionals, especially from Saudi Aramco, promoting a rich dialogue of questions, insights, and ideas.

Bill Banks, professor and director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at SU, stressed the complexity of cyber attacks and their impact on organizations and that it is no longer purely an IT issue. “Too often cyber response and recovery plans, if they exist at all, are viewed narrowly as an IT plan, and fail to integrate across all necessary disciplines and stakeholders.

Cybersecurity today will not be achieved by technical solutions alone; it is an enterprise-wide challenge,” Banks said.

The Dubai symposium attracted professionals and faculty from academia and resulted in fruitful conversations about challenges in cybersecurity education and opportunities for collaboration in the Middle East region. Reflecting the importance of this issue, a portion of the event was attended by Michael H. Corbin, ambassador of the United States to the United Arab Emirates, who applauded SU for working to bring thought leaders together and for the University’s commitment to the Gulf Cooperation Council region.

In response to why this symposium was important for SU, Dean Steinberg said, “We are dedicated to the proposition that international collaborations, around areas of mutual interests and needs, are the building blocks of the safer, more sustainable, and more equitable world that we all seek for the future. This symposium is a reflection of our recognition of the global need for building partnerships to solve problems.”

As more and more businesses and people are depending on smartphones and other mobile devices, the security of such a platform becomes very important. In this presentation, Professor Du discussed the emerging risks faced by these platforms, and gave an overview of what the industry and academia are working on in dealing with these risks. Du also provided a brief overview of our own research projects, which are sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Google.

Security-Critical Applications Professor Shiu-Kai Chin, director of the Center for Information and System Assurance and Trust

The so-called Internet of Things, where physical objects have embedded intelligence and are networked, is growing daily. Within this context, command and control over critical infrastructure, such as financial networks, must be assured to have integrity and security. The purpose of this workshop was to give an overview of a rigorous set of methods and tools that address the assurance of command and control of mission-critical systems.

Legal and Regulatory Challenges to Cybersecurity Professor Bill Banks, director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism (INSCT)

Most critical infrastructure is privately owned and remains vulnerable to catastrophic cyberattacks. Private firms tend to underinvest in cyber defense for a variety of reasons, and many are incapable of effectively protecting their networks.

Governments have traditionally treated cybersecurity as a national security problem or a criminal law problem, applying the laws of war to justify countermeasures, or domestic criminal laws to prosecute perpetrators, when they can be found. Neither approach provides adequate protection for privately held critical infrastructure. Instead, industry should partner with competitive intelligence (CI) firms (supported by government regulation, if necessary). The industry/CI firm partners should engage in monitoring and surveillance, develop programs to harden vulnerable targets and build resilient and recoverable systems. The new relationships will require unprecedented levels of trust and information sharing between industry, CI firms, and government.

The Securing the Cybersphere conferences were made possible through the generosity of The Family Office, GE, Raymond International, Newsdesk Media, MASIC, and TBWA/RAAD.

hen the people of Nanjing, China, awoke one December morning, they learned that the schools were closed. Looking out their window, they did not see a blizzard or a hurricane—they did not see anything. The city was enveloped in blinding smog. In Nanjing, the streets were clear—and it was the air that had shut the city down.

15 SYRACUSE ENGINEER

Healthy air is measured at 0-50 on the air quality index. On this day in Nanjing, the air quality measured 330 for more than 12 hours. The outdoor air was labeled hazardous and the entire population of the city moved indoors. But is the indoor air any better? Professor Jensen Zhang is working to ensure that it is.

Zhang is the director of the Building Energy and Environmental Systems Laboratory at Syracuse University. One of the lab’s primary goals is to develop innovative technologies in the area of indoor environmental quality by conducting leading-edge academic and industrial research.

The lab also focuses on the energy efficiency and protection of buildings.

Zhang saw that poor environmental conditions in Nanjing could provide a learning environment for students as well as an ideal place to spread knowledge about his research.

Zhang led a group of students from SU to Nanjing this past spring to join students from Nanjing University and Regulations and common Aalto University in Finland to explore the design, engineering, building practices have construction, and operation of sustainable green buildings. ensured that the way we The quality of indoor air was a significant part of their work. build in the U.S. is already “Regulations and common building practices have ensured relatively clean.

When a lot of work to be done. green building is applied there, the impact is significant and the improvements can truly be seen. What happens there, affects us here. The impact of a nation’s green practices (or lack thereof ) doesn’t stop at their borders. It affects the entire world,” said Zhang.

Students completed a course in Virtual Design Studio (VDS) for Green Building Systems offered through a partnership between SU and Nanjing University. The class was made up of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, architecture, and building technology majors and taught by Zhang and Professor Michael Pelken, formerly of SU’s School of Architecture, with guest lectures from two civil engineering faculty members, Professor Riyad Aboutaha and Professor Dawit Negussey. This multidisciplinary collaboration emphasized the concept that optimized design must be considered at every stage of a green building project.

In the VDS course, students attended lectures and worked in teams to design green building systems and evaluate their performance through computer simulations. They gained an understanding of how heat, air, moisture and pollutants flow through a building; analyzed the combined effects of local climate and site and the building’s form, massing and orientation, internal configuration, and environmental control system on the predicted building performance; and explored integrative design approaches, creative design concepts, and innovative green building technologies.

Students were immersed in learning to build cleaner, greener buildings to improve the indoor and outdoor environment. Participants found the experience educational and meaningful—many wishing the experience could have been longer. As Qidi Jiang ’13, an SU alumnus and Aalto University student, said, “It provides a good framework that opens up opportunities for people to explore and become a well-rounded professional, a genuinely green practitioner.”

A

friend of mine called me with a question—who is Jim Fawcett? I was taken aback. How did this person, the co-founder of a midsized software company in San Jose, California, come across the name of the man whose office is less than 20 feet from mine? The name James Fawcett kept turning up in his company’s products.

Of course, it immediately became clear to me. Professor Fawcett, a prolific writer of computer programs, has always allowed his students to use his code as long as his name is properly cited. As his students found their way in the professional world, they brought the coding and skills that they had learned at Syracuse with them. Fawcett’s programs and influence were circulating, reaching all corners of the industry.

Walking into his classroom, you will see a very happy teacher with attentive students who are eager to learn. He is the kind of teacher that I would describe as exemplary or ideal—very sound and deep technical knowledge, an excellent ability to communicate, a strong love for teaching, and a caring attitude.

Every year, hundreds of students take Fawcett’s software development classes. Most credit those courses with greatly transforming them into competent and confident programmers.

Their technical abilities are now also very much appreciated by the high-tech industry nationwide.

Conservatively speaking, in Microsoft alone, there

are more than 300 SU graduates that have been trained by Fawcett. This explains why there were throngs of alumni looking to reconnect with him when he traveled to Seattle, Washington, for an alumni event.

Among all his strengths, what I respect most is how he cares for students. He actively interacts with students outside of classrooms. He helps them with their concerns—class material, career planning, and even personal advice such as student visa problems.

a renaissance

man

H

e has traveled the oceans with students to Italy and Dubai. He has led countless numbers of students to explore the complexity of construction sites.

He has mentored and inspired faculty. He is an Ironman. He is the embodiment of Southern charm with a smile that goes on for miles and a sense of humor that no one is immune to. He is magnetic.

He has committed over 37 years to the advancement of the educational experience and inspiring future engineers. And, he has left an indelible mark on Syracuse University and the College of Engineering and Computer Science. He is— Professor Sam Clemence.

Professor Clemence is one of those teachers you come across once or twice in an educational career, if you’re lucky. His charm and quick wit made him easy to like and impossible to forget. Professor Clemence has an exuberance for his work that makes even the most mundane aspects of coursework entertaining. He used every opportunity to get his students involved in their surroundings by bringing real-life scenarios to the classroom or taking his students outside to evaluate engineering history and culture. For many students, Professor Clemence feels like more than just another teacher... he is part of their college family.”

For me, Sam has set the highest standards of teaching and mentoring. For the last 30 years, he has been my role model. I feel very fortunate to have a stellar colleague like Sam with whom I’ve shared my professional journey. I admire him for nurturing my academic career.

Shobha Bhatia Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor for Teaching Excellence, College of Engineering & Computer Science

I loved my professors at Syracuse University and Dr. Sam Clemence is one of the best. He’s nice, down-to-earth, and very serious about the students’ education. He doesn’t deal with them as numbers, he deals with them as people.

Abdallah Yabroudi ’78 Chairman of Dubai Contracting Company

Professor Clemence is an exceptional professor and role model for civil engineering students. As a professor of the Introduction to Civil Engineering course, he teaches us the importance of real-world applications by integrating them into the class. Outside of the classroom, he is always looking to learn more about civil engineering. On the DCC internship site visits, he would ask the project managers questions to prompt learning points for us as well as learn about new methods and techniques used in the construction industry. He is an outstanding example of a civil engineer engaging in lifelong learning.

Jared Barczak ’15 Civil Engineering

I spent many years co-teaching Leonardo da Vinci: Artist and Engineer with Sam. We had been good friends for many years prior and this was our opportunity to work together. It’s exciting to know someone with such varied expertise. In fact, Sam shares many qualities with Leonardo.

Naturally, he’s an expert in civil engineering, but he’s also a lover of classical music and a tremendous athlete.

He is also extremely charming, a great conversationalist, elegant, and gracious, just like Leonardo. Although he is too modest to think of himself this way, Sam Clemence is a true Renaissance man.

air “The human, environmental, and financial cost of climate change is fast and becoming unbearable,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the General Assembly.

In early April, Professor Charles Driscoll and a team from Syracuse University and the Harvard School of Public Health worked to formulate impact projections for an upcoming regulatory announcement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The EPA was planning to release the nation’s first carbon pollution standards for existing power plants in June, and there was a lot of speculation within the scientific community as to how aggressive the EPA was going to be.

New EPA Standards Do More Than Reduce Carbon

T

heir banners and signs read “Go Solar,” “No Planet B,” and “Science Stands for Climate Action.” Hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets of New York City in late September as part of a demonstration in conjunction with the U.N. Climate Summit.

They assembled for the People’s Climate March to implore world leaders to do their part in stemming the tide of global climate change.

Power plants are the single largest source of carbon dioxide (CO2; 40%), sulfur dioxide (SO2; 73%), and mercury emissions (Hg; 49%) in the United States. They are also the second largest source of nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx; 24%).

“When power plants limit carbon dioxide emissions, they can also release less sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other pollutants,” says Driscoll, University professor of civil and environmental engineering in the College of Engineering and Computer Science.

Setting strong emission standards that are flexible and promote energy efficiency would provide a bonus—reductions in other air

pollutants that can make people sick, damage forests, crops and lakes, and harm fish and wildlife.

“We know that these other pollutants contribute to increased risk of premature death and heart attacks, as well as increased incidence and severity of asthma and other health effects. They also contribute to acid rain, ozone damage to trees and crops, and the accumulation of toxic mercury in fish,” adds Driscoll. “This analysis shows that there is a real opportunity to help reverse decades of environmental damage from power plant emissions and to improve human health.”

According to the Driscoll team’s study, “Cobenefits of Carbon Standards: Air Pollution Changes under Different 111d Options for Existing Power Plants,” more than 750,000 tons of other harmful air pollutants could be reduced across the continental United States.

The team came up with three scenarios for what the EPA might do. In the first scenario, individual power plants would be asked to reduce their own emissions. In the second, the electricity sector would need to seek improvement through a trade system. In the final scenario, a carbon tax model would be implemented.

“The EPA standards released on June 2nd were closest to our Scenario Two models,” said Driscoll.

The team has made a number of trips to Washington, D.C., to meet with lawmakers to explain the state impacts of different regulation scenarios. In addition to summarizing changes in emissions, the study quantified the resulting improvements in air quality and featured detailed maps illustrating the benefits of decreased emissions from all three scenarios on a state-bystate basis.

The study shows that with a strong carbon standard, improvements are widespread and all of the lower 48 states receive some benefit. The maps show that the greatest benefits occur in the eastern United States, particularly in and around the Ohio River Valley, as well as the Rocky Mountain region.

The team released another study in early September highlighting the health benefits of their scenarios and will release another study in December that forecasts the impact of regulation on acidification of water sources.

Alexis Peña, Donofrio Scholar With Passion for Research and Student Life

A

lexis Peña laid eyes on Syracuse University for the first time on the day she moved into Sadler Hall.

She drove onto campus with her mother and uncle in an overpacked rental car with a head buzzing from excitement. She had no connections at SU, and for the first time in her life, she would be away from her close-knit family. Rather than being nervous about this new and unfamiliar experience, Peña was poised to take advantage of every opportunity.

Instead of beginning her first semester of higher education in the fall, Peña, a bioengineering major, began in the height of the summer months to participate in SummerStart, a six-week session that facilitates a smooth transition from high school to college for new students by helping them acclimate to the University’s academic, social, and cultural life. It was here that Peña began to form new connections with her classmates, faculty, and staff.

Early on, Peña met Julie Hasenwinkel, associate dean for student affairs and bioengineering 23 SYRACUSE ENGINEER

professor, and the student support staff at the College of Engineering and Computer Science.

They recognized Peña’s potential and named her to the inaugural class of Donofrio Scholars, a program that provides support for an annual cohort of 10 students from underrepresented groups. The program, funded by Nicholas Donofrio G’71, H’11, former IBM executive vice president for innovation and technology and current member of the SU Board of Trustees, was designed to support their success in engineering and to engage them in the life of the University, along with building their support network and leadership potential.

“When I met Alexis on the first day of SummerStart, I was immediately impressed by her maturity, ambition, self-confidence and poise.

We were just developing the Donofrio Scholars program at that time, and I knew that Alexis embodied all of the traits we were looking for in our first cohort. She has certainly taken advantage of all that the program has to offer and she is doing amazing things, in and out of the classroom – just as we expected!” praises Hasenwinkel.

As Donofrio Scholars, Peña and her fellow students were provided special access to tutoring, an annual membership in an engineering society of their choice, opportunities to meet with

faculty research advisors and engineers from local companies, and specialized career service workshops. She was also assured an internship experience performing research in a faculty laboratory during the summer following her freshman year. Through group retreats and the overall shared experience, the 10 original Donofrio Scholars have become like a family—a family that has been extended to new classes of scholars each year.

Three years after she arrived on campus without knowing a soul, you When I met Alexis on the would be hard-pressed to find a Syracuse first day of SummerStart, I was immediately impressed University student more connected than Peña. She spends a substantial amount by her maturity, ambition, of time completing undergraduate self-confidence and poise research in addition to her course load.

She has been working in Professor Jay Henderson’s lab in the Syracuse Biomaterials Institute since her freshman year. Her work in the lab has helped inspire her to complete more research as a graduate student and aim for a career in sustainable medicine.

Outside of bioengineering, she serves as a resident assistant in Lawrinson Hall and the academic excellence chair of the National Society of Black Engineers. She is also an honors student, a tutor, and a member of the Society of Hispanic

Professional Engineers and participates in the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation research program.

Through her passion for bioengineering and student life, the support of the Donofrio Scholars program and the guidance of mentors across the University, Peña is constantly striving to glean the most from her college experience and is confident she made the right choice.

“When underclassmen see my planner, they are sometimes intimidated by the number of things I’m involved with. I tell them it’s worth it because I believe you need to be prepared for your future.

What I do today is going to affect my graduate school application, my career, and my Through her passion for relationships. I have gained valuable bioengineering and student connections through all of these experiences that keep my calendar life, the support of the filled,” Peña describes. “The mentors Donofrio Scholars program that I have met and the groups that and the guidance of mentors I am a part of, such as the Donofrio across the University, Peña Scholars, are extremely helpful and is constantly striving to supportive. They’ve sparked my glean the most from her interests and I wouldn’t want to be college experience anyplace else.”

oasting down University Avenue on his bicycle, Jeremy Mingtao Wu turns right onto Marshall Street. There is something extraordinary about the bicycle he is riding—his handlebars are giving him directions and signaling to others that he is about to turn.

BikeRules is a smartphone app that links to a turn signal system through Bluetooth technology.

The turn signal system attaches to the bicycle’s handlebars and functions as blinkers. It serves as both a GPS navigation system and a much-needed safety feature for bicycles. Users input their destinations in the app and the blinkers direct the riders when a turn is approaching. This allows riders to get to their endpoint without taking their eyes off the road or using hand gestures, and clearly indicates to other vehicles that a cyclist is about to turn.

Inspired by Professor Young B. Moon, and aided by fellow students Chenchen Shen, Jason Zhu and Xinyu Wang in Moon’s Sustainability in Manufacturing and Business class, Wu began working on a prototype.

With sustainability in mind, Wu, a mechanical engineering graduate student, created the

BikeRules hardware prototypes using 3-D printing.

The hardware is made of fully recyclable material powered by a rechargeable battery and includes a solar panel as a supplemental energy source.

Wu worked on BikeRules through the summer with support from an award from the College’s Invention and Creativity Competition and the support of the Syracuse Student Sandbox, the University’s business incubator for aspiring entrepreneurs.

ou put on the glove, and for a brief moment, you feel like a character in a sci-fi movie Across the room, your hand’s movements are mimicked by a robotic hand. You then reach out to touch an object that exists only on your screen—but you can feel it. You can hold it and you can move it without the use of a mouse or keyboard. Imagine a world where an astronaut can repair a satellite without ever leaving the spacecraft; a surgeon can perform surgery on a patient thousands of miles away; and a soldier can defuse a bomb without being in harm’s way. For senior Ben Marggraf, that world is in the very foreseeable future.

Marggraf, along with his Contact team, seeks to simplify the way we interact with computers; they envision a time when the keyboard and mouse are obsolete and are replaced by a better kind of input device. “With our glove, there’s no learning curve— it’s intuitive. You’re just using your hands,” he says.

As a biomedical engineering student, Marggraf is constantly working with 3-D modeling and printing, a laborious What’s exciting about and time-consuming process.

What if he to see one day is having could move and manipulate the creations with his hand to ensure they human hands go where were exactly what he intended them to they can’t physically be, be before printing them? but are needed.

Marggraf approached his thenroommate, Tim Meyer, a mechanical engineering student, with the idea. Together, they enrolled in the College’s Idea to Startup class to further develop the concept. It was in this class that they created the controller prototype: a glove containing electrical components that could measure finger movements. By the end of the course, the duo had launched Contact and added two other members to their team.

The latest prototype measures the displacement of fingers and the degrees of freedom of the hand.

The team also created a robotic hand as a proof of concept: When wearing the glove, the robotic hand mimics everything the user’s hand does. Contact is developing haptic feedback for the glove, which will allow users to get the sensation of holding what’s on the screen and feel increased pressure as they tighten their grip. This will allow for a great degree of control over what’s happening on the screen because you will actually be able to feel the on-screen objects, as if you were holding a real one. Although he is not yet sure what immediate use the glove will serve, he believes that the applications are limitless. “What’s exciting about our technology is that it has a lot of potential to go in different directions. Ideally, what we’d like to see one day is having human hands go where they can’t physically be, but are needed.”

in memoriam A Tribute to F. Lockwood Morris By Edward Stabler, Professor Emeritus It is hard to explain Lockwood’s love, understanding, and insights about structure and relationships of things because it was all about mathematics. It was as if ordinary people, like me, and probably like you, could see only the silhouettes of things while he could divine the whole object, and the structure that yielded the silhouette. Add to this his generosity and love of new things and you can imagine the pleasure of a conversation with Lockwood Morris.

Here is an analogy. Suppose Lockwood had never seen a diamond, but you showed him one and said, “Isn’t it pretty?” If he liked it he would say it was “interesting.” He would notice the facets and what they did. He would define “facet” exactly so its role and properties are obvious.

You would understand. You would appreciate.

The image presented to your eyes combines light reflected from the facets, and light from inside the diamond.

Lockwood would lead you to an understanding of collections of facets, oriented to one another, all reflecting, passing and blending light. You would “know” at a deeper level. Some of the magic would disappear, but a “wow” of wonder Lockwood would lead would take its place. Turning the diamond you to an understanding in your hand to see the vision sparkle, twist of collections of facets, and surprise is so very beautiful because oriented to one another, Lockwood has opened your eyes. Analysis all reflecting, passing and and understanding will have enhanced the blending light. You would experience a thousand times over.

In all of this, he is not the teacher. He has “know” at a deeper level. never seen a diamond. He is an enthusiastic fellow explorer, whose eyesight and articulation are stunning. You are full of wonder and you are improved. You will no longer show your diamond and say, “Isn’t it pretty?” You will say, “See how beautiful it is.” Of course, I never showed Lockwood a diamond. But I showed him things I thought interesting, and he made them beautiful for me. I am grateful.

F. Lockwood Morris was a professor of computer science for the College of Engineering and Computer Science for 39 years. He passed away in March at the age of 70.

Nancy Strait, ‘58 G’89 (Fine Arts and Religion), beloved wife of Professor and Dean Emeritus Brad Strait, passed away in February.

n December of 1998, NASA launched the Mars Climate Orbiter from Cape Canaveral. In about a year, the orbiter was scheduled to arrive at Mars and begin to study the red planet’s weather and to seek evidence of past climate change. When the orbiter reached its destination the following September, it was obliterated passing through the Martian atmosphere.

The problem? A single team of engineers was sending signals to the spacecraft in English measurements when it expected metric. This caused it to enter the atmosphere far too low, where atmospheric stresses and friction destroyed the multimilliondollar system. “This wasn’t a mechanical failure, it was a systems engineering failure,” describes Professor Tom Barnard.

He uses this example to convey the importance of one of his primary areas of interest and expertise—systems engineering. This fall, Barnard joined the College of Engineering and Computer Science as the David Edelstein Professor of Practice in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, and he aims to teach the importance of the subject. “Any engineering student will benefit from a strong understanding of systems engineering,” he says. “In your professional life, you’ll apply your expertise as part of a larger system.

He has served as an adjunct instructor for the College for many years.

As a professor of practice, Barnard will teach graduate-level courses in radar tracking, adaptive processing, modeling and simulation, and non-Gaussian clutter rejection. He is also developing programs of study in systems engineering.

His success in electrical engineering, both academically and professionally, stemmed from his love for applied math equations.

“As an undergrad, I found that I could look at electrical circuits as math problems. My interest grew from there,” he explains.

Barnard went on to earn a B.S., an M.S., and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, and his career allowed him to continue to use applied math to work on a way for radar and sonar to find quieter or smaller targets.

Barnard’s professorship is funded by an endowment from David G. Edelstein, ’78. Edelstein serves on the SU Board of Trustees and is a member of the board’s academic affairs and student affairs committees. He also serves as chair of the College of Engineering and Computer Science Dean’s Leadership Council, the College’s Campaign Leadership Council, and SU’s Chicago Regional Council.

Edelstein notes, “Everything an engineer works on is part of a bigger system. Understanding this notion and applying it in practice ensures that bigger system will be a success.

The Dean’s Leadership Grant

the Syracuse University senior is working alongside Choi in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department to test and research various antenna designs. The team is researching the different designs to determine their efficacy and potential future applications.

When Cifarelli found out that he had been accepted to the College of Engineering and Computer Science, he was ecstatic—the Rochester, New York native had always wanted to attend SU. Upon acceptance, Cifarelli was offered the Dean’s Leadership Grant, a grant program intended to bolster students’ educational experience via research opportunities throughout their college careers. “The program has had a great impact on our ability to attract outstanding students, and likewise has had a great impact on the lives and experiences of the students involved,” says Kathleen Joyce, assistant dean for student recruitment at the College. Cifarelli, who enrolled as an electrical engineering major, couldn’t wait to get started. During his freshman and sophomore years at SU, he worked alongside Professor Shalabh C. Maroo in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. “I boiled a lot of water,” Cifarelli exclaims.

Maroo’s group focused on fabricating novel nanostructured surfaces to enhance pool boiling and experimentally testing these surfaces. Pool boiling is one of the most efficient heat transfer mechanisms in industry, and Cifarelli was involved in the design of a pool boiling chamber in Maroo’s research lab. The design process involved sizing the chamber, positioning heaters in the chamber to

keep the pool of water at a steady temperature and creating the CAD design of all the chamber parts for fabrication. During this time, he learned to use SolidWorks, a 3-D software tool for creating and managing data, and got the opportunity to design the hardware to test samples. “I really enjoyed working with Maroo—he and I were close and It was great getting I got to learn a lot from him,” he said. to learn about a field During his junior year, Cifarelli did research that wasn’t necessarily under the tutelage of Professor Amit Agrawal. my own, but how my “It was great getting to learn about a field that wasn’t necessarily my own, but how my electrical electrical engineering background was still engineering background was still applicable,” Cifarelli said. His research with Agrawal applicable was primarily in the field of nanoscience and creating RGB pixel arrays—a color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad range of colors— using electric fields. This research will contribute to the creation of micro- and nanoscale optical devices.

“I’ve had the chance to work on a lot of different projects and work alongside many talented people through the research program. I’m very grateful to have been selected,” Cifarelli said.

Un Été en Vol Pour Nate Forer

(A Summer in Flight for Nate Forer)

F

rom a window seat of a flight returning from Europe, Nate Forer, a senior aerospace major from Encino, California, isn’t gazing out at the clouds or the expanse of terrain and ocean below — he is focused on the airplane. Contemplating the aircraft’s complex design. Considering all the costs of operating the airline and if the company is making the right decisions to keep it profitable. Reflecting on the cracks in airplane frames and supports he has witnessed being repaired. Thinking about what air traffic controllers are doing to keep his flight on track. He is seeing a complete picture of what it really takes to fly.

Much of what Forer has learned about the aviation industry has been gleaned from his six-week Aerospace Summer Program in France. He and three other Syracuse University aerospace majors joined students from colleges across the U.S. to study at three premier French aviation schools. They attended classes, visited aviation companies, and toured France.

Like many SU students, Forer has a diverse set of interests. He chose SU because he could engage in a wide range of opportunities that other universities did not offer. He could major in aerospace engineering and minor in photojournalism, while playing on the Orange football team. He could participate in SU’s entrepreneur program and create MOUNTech, a startup that designs and

manufactures mounts for action sports cameras.

He could also work as a leader and videographer for SU Recreation Services. For Forer, college is about more than earning a degree and learning concepts in a classroom—it is about maximizing the opportunities and experiences the University offers.

The focus on aviation in France sets the country apart from nearly all others. Airbus, the number one seller of commercial aircraft in the world, is based in Toulouse, making the city a hub of European aerospace industry and education. The city is also home to the country’s leading aerospace university and boasts a rich aviation history, including hosting some of the world’s earliest air shows and races.

While there, Forer and his classmates built upon their aerospace knowledge in courses taken at the Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace (ISAE), ISAE’s École Nationale Supérieure de Mécanique et D’Aérotechnique and the École Nationale de l’Aviation Civile. They learned about airplanes from design to flight, and learned about the business and safety portions of the industry.

“For Structures, we tested landing gears for tension and compression,” Forer said. “For Combustions, we studied what makes things explode and how to channel explosions. In Economics of Aviation, we discussed how airlines can be more profitable.”

Touring aviation companies including Rockwell Collins, Avions de transport régional (ATR), and Eurocopter, the students had access to areas

of the industry that are normally off-limits. “We were able to see a stress test of the Airbus A380 in which they bend the wings all the way up and snap them off using a giant lift. We were able to watch this, then apply the knowledge we gained to experiments we performed in the lab. When we visited the Airbus manufacturing floor, we lucked out and were able to see each and every stage of an A330 being built from start to finish.”

While the time spent in the classroom and among industry professionals made Forer’s knowledge soar, it was his immersion in French culture that helped make the trip an experience of a lifetime. “Two things I will always remember are the food and the music.” He reveled in the streets during the Summer Solstice celebration and relished decadent, five-star meals in unique French restaurants. His cultural experiences in France rounded out an amazing educational experience.

As his time in France came to a close, Forer found himself standing in the airport, casually looking out the window of the terminal and contemplating his experience. There, he saw an Airbus A380 to his right and a Boeing 747 to his left—the two workhorses of the airline industry. In a scene that would go unnoticed by most travelers, Forer stood with a profound sense of awe and reflected on his journey in which he gained a unique perspective and rare insight into the field he loves.

With his broad range of interests, Forer is uncertain about his future career trajectory. No matter where he is headed, you can be sure he will be requesting a window seat.

hope in the

aftermath T

he heat was excruciating and the sawing made her arms sore, but Louise Domingo’s heart was full of purpose. Whatever small pain she was enduring here was nothing compared with the anguish that the people she was helping had experienced. As she labored with a small crew of volunteers, a Filipino family of four looked on. When this small, one-room shelter was complete, they would be calling this home.

Just a few months prior, Super Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in impoverished Daanbantayan in the province of Cebu, Philippines. The storm delivered 225 mile-per-hour winds and rain and destruction. Haiyan was two to three times as powerful as Hurricane Katrina, and there were no levies or evacuation routes that could have lessened her impact. When the winds subsided, tens of thousands had lost their homes and more than 6,300 people had lost their lives.

Upon seeing the reports of the devastation, Domingo, a civil engineering major, sprang into action. She set up a table in Link Hall, encouraging her fellow students to donate money and water filtration bottles to help provide clean drinking water for the affected population. In a few short months, she raised over $1,000 for HOPE Worldwide’s typhoon relief efforts and collected dozens of bottles, but for the native Filipino Domingo, this wasn’t enough. She needed to go home and help.

Like many college students, Domingo has limited funds, but by pooling her resources she was able to make the trip a reality. She arranged to join HOPE Worldwide Philippines’ volunteer efforts, then packed a very light carry-on bag with her personal items and checked a 50-pound suitcase stuffed with donated water bottles and supplies.

Along with her close friend, Yovanny Duran ’14, she made it to the other side of the globe to provide aid with her own two hands.

The first days of the trip were devoted to the construction of a small hut. The family that they were building it for had lost their home when the typhoon hit. The structure was not much bigger than a small office, but there are no outlets for power tools to be used to ease the labor— everything is manual. Despite the limitations and uncomfortable conditions, the project was completed in two days and the family was finally

able to rest under a roof of their own again.

Domingo and Duran also spent time among the

Filipino people, distributing clothing and other goods, and organizing games for the children in the community. The items included materials with old branding from the College of Engineering and Computer Science and the water bottles I want to help developing that Domingo had collected and lugged to Daanbantayan herself. Throughout the countries build up their experience, Domingo found it remarkable infrastructures. Having the how upbeat the residents were. right modernizations could “In the Philippines, they have very lessen the effect of the little, yet they are still joyful and hopeful. typhoons that hit every year.

It reminded me what is really important in life. It’s not money, it’s not fame, it’s not power. It’s making the best of what you have.”

This experience has also fueled Domingo’s career plans. “I want to help developing countries build up their infrastructures. Having the right modernizations could lessen the effect of the typhoons that hit every year,” she explains.

With the trip behind her, Domingo is taking the elbow grease that served her well in the Philippines and is using it to expand her efforts to raise money across campus. This year, she hopes to partner with various student organizations that are seeking a worthy cause for their philanthropic efforts.

ew things are more frustrating than those reminders from your bank, your email account or your work login reminding you to change your passwords.

How can we possibly be expected to remember all of these passwords? “Oh well,” you say as you change your password from “Orange&44” to “Orange&45.”

Certainly, it would be much easier if we could use the same simple password for every login. The truth is, despite the inconvenience we feel, a single password is no longer sufficient to protect our personal information from hackers. In fact, a password alone is the least of what we should be using to authenticate access to our accounts.

of more than one of the potential authentication factors: something you know (i.e., password, PIN), something you have (i.e., ID card, key fob) and something you are (i.e., The most secure fingerprint, eye scan).

“When someone steals your credentials, systems are the ones that have they can masquerade as you in the digital systems assurance world,” says Chin. But with multi-factor authentication, stealing someone’s identity designed into it becomes harder. Someone could steal from the start your badge, but they may not be able to get your password. Or someone could determine your password, but they cannot replicate your fingerprint. In an ideal world, all three of the authentication factors would be used, because it makes the process of stealing someone’s identity much more difficult.

The solution is not straightforward. There will always be a trade-off between security and convenience. “Imagine if you went to the supermarket and every time you put something in your cart you were forced to pay for it one item at a time,” says Chin.

So the next time you get the notification to change your password or pull out your authentication card, remember the power of multi-factor authentication and the necessary balance between security and ease of access. Rest easy knowing your information is better protected by those occasional inconveniences.

“When a stranger comes to your door and rings your doorbell, the first thing you are going to do is check who it is,” says Professor Shiu-Kai Chin of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Before you open the door to your house, you want to make sure you know who is there, or confirm whether you feel comfortable opening your door. You may ask why the person is there, or whom he or she knows that you know, or ask for some form of identification like a police badge.

The Internet of Things makes the process of confirmation more complicated. We cannot readily see who is at our digital doorstep. And yet, we have become alarmingly comfortable with the idea that a single password is a reasonable enough way to protect some of our most valuable information.

Chin works with members of the defense and financial industries to help answer two very important questions: Do we trust that someone is who they say they are, and are we reasonably assured that what they are requesting is reasonable? “The most secure systems are the ones that have systems assurance designed into it from the start,” says Chin.

We, as individuals, cannot control how a system has been designed, but Chin is working to encourage the greater use of a concept called multi-factor authentication. Incorporating this concept, a system will require the presentation
