UC Davis Computer Security Lab

Awards 2012

Former UC Davis Ph.D. student Prof. Daniela Oliveira wins an NSF CAREER Award to support her work on bridging the semantic gap in virtualization-based security solutions via collaboration between guest OS and virtual machine.

Awards 2010

Dr. Sean Whalen receives the I3P Research Fellowship to support his proposed work on computer security with Prof. Sean Peisert. Dr. Whalen, who will be jointly appointed between UC Davis and the Berkeley Lab, was previously a Ph.D. student at UC Davis, advised jointly by Prof. Matt Bishop and Prof. Jim Crutchfield. The goals of his fellowship work are to develop a more mathematically rigorous anomaly detection framework, and apply it to process control systems and supercomputing clusters.

Awards 2009

Former UC Davis Ph.D. student Prof. Jed Crandall wins an NSF CAREER Award to support his work on analyzing global Internet censorship.

Dr. Earl Barr receives the I3P Research Fellowship to support his proposed work on computer security with Prof. Zhendong Su. Dr. Barr, was previously a Ph.D. student at UC Davis with Prof. Raju Pandey.

Awards 2008

Professor Hao Chen receives the Professor Hao Chen won the National Science Foundation CAREER award for his proposal to secure broadband cellular data networks.

Awards 2007

Dr. Sean Peisert receives the I3P Research Fellowship to perform research in formalizing the process of forensic logging and auditing, and automating security policy discovery and implementation.

Awards 2006

Professor Matt Bishop receives the Colloquium Academia Award from the Colloquium for Information System Security Education (CISSE) for his research and pedagogical work in computer information security (such as collecting seminal research papers that were hard to find before CISSE made them available, and his textbook). The award also honors Prof. Bishop for his "demonstrated research leadership in the analysis of vulnerabilities in computer systems, including modeling them, building tools to detect vulnerabilities, and eliminating or ameliorating them."
