Explore Research: Faculty-Guided Excellence
Bowie State University's faculty-guided research, led by esteemed advisors Dr. Jie Yan, Dr. Sarker Kamruzzman, and Anijoy Chakma, showcases the diverse expertise within the Computer Science department. SFS scholars Jada A Danner and Kamal A EPPS, mentored by Dr. Yan, are pioneering a cost-effective image forensic analyzer using Raspberry Pi. Meanwhile, under Dr. Kamruzzman's guidance, Roxan C. Rockefeller and Dawn L. Marshall explore malware detection using a deep learning approach. Anijoy Chakma advises scholar Jared L. Robinson on cross-domain sensing and modeling for smart environments, addressing challenges in aggregating and processing multi-stream, multi-modal data. This faculty-mentored research enriches scholars' understanding of cybersecurity, machine learning, and smart environments.
