A Comparative Analysis of MFA and Google Sign-In for Mobile Applications: Implications for User Experience, Security, and Development Efficiency.
Course: CS687
Description: This topic is about types of authentication methods in mobile applications mainly email and password authentication enhanced with MFA and Google Sign-In. The topic is aimed solving the authentication problem of encouraging users and developers to adopt implementing Google Sign-In in their apps over email and password authentication enhanced with MFA because with Google Sign-In it’s just onclick provided you have a Google account already in your mobile device.

Hybrid modeling for detecting credit card fraud
Course: CS497
Description: After observing past studies on detecting fraud in ML, i though to create my own iteration of models and potentially pair them to achieve greater efficiency and better performance. The main 4 models are as follows: Support vector machine, random forst classifier, feed-forward neural network, and convolutional neural network

Implementing AI-Enhanced Zero Trust Architecture for Real-Time Threat Detection and Access Revocation in Government Networks.
Course: CY665
Description: Government networks are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyberattacks. Traditional security models based on implicit trust are no longer sufficient. Insider threats, credential theft, and advanced persistent threats (APTs) are growing risks. The main objective of this paper is to explore how AI can strengthen Zero Trust Architecture by automating real-time threat detection and immediate access revocation in government settings.

Location Analysis of Veterans Affairs (VA) Clinic Accessibility
Course: CS487 DL01
Description: This study investigates the limited availability of VA healthcare clinics in urban areas with high veteran populations, leading to overcrowding, delays, and adverse health outcomes. Using geospatial analysis and Power BI visualizations, it identifies underserved regions and proposes solutions like new clinic locations and expanded telemedicine. The findings highlight the urgent need to expand VA healthcare resources to improve access and outcomes for veterans.

Securing Enterprise Networks through Segmentation and Zero-Trust Principles to Reduce the Risks of Cyberthreats
Course: DS497
Description: Cyberattacks result in estimated losses to business of more than $264 billion per year, even as the number of security breaches continues to increase year-over-year. A critical component of a successful defense against cyberthreats is the way an information network is architected. Legacy, flat, network architectures are more susceptible to compromise and result in greater damage when breached. Implementing a segmented, zero-trust approach to network security has the potential to reduce the efficacy of cyberattacks; however, transitioning to a new network security paradigm must consider the human and operational impacts to ensure successful business outcomes.
