CSC599/699 - Graduate Research

Course Description
CSC599/699 is Graduate Research. For completion of the Masters Degree or PhD in Computer Science with an emphasis on Digital Forensics, it is required that students complete a research project in the area. Students can choose to work on one of the pre-existing research projects that the university has in place, or to come up with a research project of their own. Currently the university is working on research in the following areas: Steganography Detection, Human Image Detection, Automated Forensic Search String Generation, and Network Boot Disks, Software Write Blockers, and Remote Digital Forensic Analysis Labs. For additional information see our Research Page.

Semester Taught
CSC599/699 can be taken during any semester throughout the academic year.

Prerequisites
Approval from Dr. Fay-Wolfe.

Course Format
CSC599/699 is completed on a student's own time. Typically students will be expected to attend a weekly meeting at which they will discuss the overall project as well as the individual progress that they are making in their area of the research. Each research project has different skill set requirements and timing constraints. It is important to work closely with Dr. Fay-Wolfe to choose a research project that is best fitted to your skill level and availability.
