[08/08]Double Congratulations to Mohammed Alghamdi! In addition to receiving the Ph.D. degree in Aug. 2008, Mohammed accepted a tenure-track faculty position at Albaha University, Saudi Arabia.

[08/08] NSF Cyberinfrastructure-TEAM (CI-TEAM) Award, 2008-2011. Our NSF CI-TEAM proposal was selected for funding (PI: John A. “Drew” Hamilton, Jr., co-PIs: Kai Chang, Xiao Qin, and Wei-Shinn Ku). This grant allows us to support the enhancement of an existing digital forensics curriculum and then eventually installing it within the Veterans Administration system nation-wide.
