CAE Community of Practice Cyber Research

NCAE-C PhD Student Club
If you are a PhD student at any NCAE-designated university studying Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a closely related field, you are invited to join the NCAE-C PhD Student Club! The club is a virtual club designed to connect PhD students with each other, give students the opportunity to present their research and receive feedback, provide information on internships and job openings, and more.
We will host biweekly academic paper discussions covering new or foundational research papers in key areas of interest to the CAE community and monthly meetings with technical demonstrations hosted by club members.
If you are interested in being part of the club, please join the NCAE-C PhD Student Club Discord. This is where important information will be first communicated, and weekly discussions will be held. Our first meeting will be on Friday, May 29, at 2 PM CT (UTC -5) on Zoom.
In case of any questions, you may reach out to the co-chairs of the initiative, Isabelle Brown-Cantrell and M. Einaam Alim from the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
