Cyber stalking: Is your cell phone being used against you?
The New York City Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender Based Violence is expanding a new program in coordination with students at Cornell Tech and NYU Tandon School of Engineering to combat cyber stalking. The computer program, developed by students and recently put into use at the city’s family justice centers, is capable of...
Quick Response Codes in 3D-Printed Structures
So far, schemes to authenticate genuine products have relied on traditional methods such as stamping a serial number or tracking code on the parts’ surface, but they are easy to remove or duplicate. Researchers from the New York University have developed an intriguing alternative. Led by Prof. Nikhil Gupta, a team of researchers from the...
Researchers use artificial neural networks to streamline materials testing
Optimizing advanced composites for specific end uses can be costly and time consuming, requiring manufacturers to test many samples to arrive at the best formulation. Investigators at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering have designed a machine learning system employing artificial neural networks (ANN) capable of extrapolating from data derived from just one sample. …...
Facebook Moves to Block Ad Transparency Tools — Including Ours
A number of organizations, including ProPublica, have developed tools to let the public see exactly how Facebook users are being targeted by advertisers. Now, Facebook has quietly made changes to its site that stop those efforts. … Facebook has also developed another tool that it says will allow researchers to analyze political ads more easily....
Google Follows Facebook And Twitter With Political Ad Transparency Programme
Ahead of India’s general election, which will take place in the coming months, Google has followed the example of Facebook and Twitter in promising greater transparency about the people behind political advertising. According to a report, the company said it will provide details of advertisers as well as the money spent on such ads. …...
3D Printing Security
As more 3D printed products reach the markets so does the increased risk for counterfeit parts. Nikhil Gupta is an Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering. He joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss a new security measure using three dimensional quick response codes.
NYU Tandon's Cyber Fellows Are a (Cyber) Force to Be Reckoned With
When Brookhaven Lab hosted the recent Department of Energy CyberForce Competition, members of the intensive NYU Tandon CyberFellows program were there to go head to head with other aspiring cybersecurity professionals from around the country. Tasked with defending a simulated energy infrastructure network from attack, the Tandon team skillfully corrected vulnerabilities; stayed a step ahead...
Tandon Research on 3D Printing Security Ranks at the Top
Just like any technology linked to the internet, 3D printers can be hacked, and computer design files can be stolen. Nikhil Gupta, an associate professor of mechanical engineering, and his colleagues created a method of hiding 3D QR (Quick Response) tags in printed parts as a way to prove their legitimacy. The news was cited...
