Research Faculty Advisor
All ICSSP Scholars are required to complete at least two semesters of research with a focus in cyber security while in the program. Research can be in the form of a project, senior thesis, or a graduate thesis. All students must secure a faculty advisor who is in the area of computer security. Any faculty member in ECE or CS that is doing research is computer security could be an advisor. For a little more guidance, a list of potential faculty advisor is listed below.
Students who have a one year scholarship must secure their advisor either prior to starting their first semester in program or within the first two weeks of the semester. Students who have a two or three year scholarship must secure their advisor by end of the first year in the program. Once an advisor is secured, email Zach Reed at zreed2@illinois.edu with the name of your advisor and a description of your research.
