Safety in a Connected World: Managing Security in the Internet-of-Things

In today's world, we are always connected by the internet-of-things (IoT). It seems we crave information and constant status updates. Some find it necessary to check in on houses or pets. Others enjoy the convenience of unlocking doors or turning on lights with a smartphone. What many may not realize is that IoT significantly increases exposure to the internet, creating security vulnerabilities.

Each connected device is a potential target and with a large number of connected devices, attackers have many opportunities to steal personal information. While we can't predict how sophisticated attacks will become, we can take active steps to protect ourselves. This presentation will explore potential solutions.

SPEAKER BIO | Dr. Sing Ming Loo joined the faculty at Boise State University in 2003. He is a member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, Information Systems Security Association International (ISSA), and Tau Beta Pi. His amateur radio call sign is KI4AKS.

ECE Seminar October 7: Printed Electronics for Air Force Applications

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Boise State University invites you to attend a free public seminar hosted on Zoom. This week's seminar features Dr. Emily Heckman, a Senior Research Engineer at Air Force Research Laboratory. October 7 @ 10:30 am https://boisestate.zoom.us/j/92994002201 ABSTRACT | This talk will provide an overview of the field of printed electronics and ongoing research efforts in this area at the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate. Printed electronics is a subset of additive manufacturing that uses technologies such as inkjet and aerosol jet printing and various other direct-write tools to additively print electronic devices on flexible, conformal and traditional substrate platforms. The AFRL Sensors Directorate is currently exploring this technology for application areas such as RF circuits and antennas, optoelectronic devices, sensors, and rapid prototyping. Challenges such as post-processing, repeat...

Electrical Engineering Research Team Develops New Transistor

The American Chemical Society (ACS) launched its new journal Applied Electronic Materials this year. One of Boise State’s own research teams landed a spot in the very first issue thanks to their novel work on a new type of transistor. “The new transistor opens up an exciting avenue of research,” says Dr. Kris Campbell, an associate professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. The featured work describes an optically-gated transistor developed in the Non-Volatile Memory research lab at Boise State University. Campbell’s research team includes undergraduate electrical engineering students Randall Bassine and Jeremy Astle and electrical and computer engineering doctoral student Faisal Kabir. Their unique work has led to a patent for Boise State University and has already been licensed by a company hoping to use the technology in their products. In this work, Dr. Campbell and her team demonstrate that a device comprised of alternating layers of sputtered amorphous c...

Dr. Maria Mitkova Honored by International Association for Advanced Materials

Maria Mitkova, a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Boise State University recently attended the 25th assembly of the Silver Jubilee Advanced Materials Congress held in Stockholm, Sweden. Mitkova was honored at the event, receiving the International Association for Advanced Materials (IAAM) medal. Dr. Maria Mitkova (left) Receives IAAM Medal Ea ch year IAAM recognizes high-impact research and innovations which promote the advancement of materials. Recognized by the IAAM for her outstanding contributions to the advancement of materials, Mitkova says she is proud to have received the award. “I have great opportunities to develop my research in a college known for its innovation, inclusion, and integrity,” Mitkova says, “where I am surrounded by a wonderful team of faculty and students.” Dr. Mitkova’s current research interests are in the area of chalcogenide glasses and thin film microstructures.
