Recently, a group of high school women spent three weeks as participants in the Computer Science for Cyber Security (CS4CS) program, picking up fundamentals at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Nearly 50 students attended classes at the downtown campus of the university, where they learned about programming, computer architecture, careers in computer science and...

Article cites research by Damon McCoy, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. President Trump is now officially the biggest political advertiser on Facebook, according to a group of New York University [Tandon School of Engineering] researchers. My colleague Sheera Frenkel reported that the president and his political action...

The Online Political Ads Transparency Project was conceived by Computer Science and Engineering Assistant Professor Damon McCoy to build easy-to-use tools to collect, archive, and analyze political advertising data. Although Facebook became the first major social media company to launch a searchable archive of political advertising, for both Facebook and Instagram, in May 2018, McCoy...

In recent years that there been multiple cyber-attacks that compromised a software developer’s network to enable the delivery of malware inside of software updates. That’s a situation that Justin Cappos, founder of The Update Framework (TUF) open-source project, has been working hard to help solve.

…Damon McCoy, who conducted the study with two fellow researchers, Laura Edelson and Shikhar Sakhuja, said they were not able to tally the total spending for Republicans and Democrats because their analysis was ongoing, though they planned to release those figures in the future.

Justin Cappos is a professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at New York University [Tandon School of Engineering], where his research addresses problems in security, systems, software update systems, and virtualization. His research philosophy focuses on solving real world security problems in practice, with software such as Docker, git, Python, and most Linux...

Syntactic foam is a strong and buoyant material commonly used in the manufacturing of submarines. Now, a team of researchers have developed a method of 3D printing components of syntactic foam that could take submarines to greater depths. Nikhil Gupta, Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering,...

“There is usually something that engenders trust and makes you want to help them,” said Damon McCoy, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering.

CNCF does not mandate or prescribe a reference architecture for Kubernetes and associated project deployment. However, Justin Cappos, professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at New York University and leader of the TUF project, said the various projects do tend to communicate with each other.
