The Forum on Cyber Resilience is a newly-established National Academies roundtable. Professor Yoshi Kohno, UW CSE Security and Privacy lab co-director, joins as an inaugural member. The Forum on Cyber Resilience will facilitate and enhance the exchange of ideas among scientists, practitioners, and policy makers concerned with urgent and important issues related to the resilience of the nation’s computing and communications systems, including the Internet, other critical infrastructures, and commercial system.

On Saturday December 6, more than 450 middle school and high school students and their families visited UW CSE for the annual UW Computing Open House, kicking off Computer Science Education Week.

Security and Privacy Lab PhD students Anna Kornfeld Simpson, Paul Vines, and Peter Ney hosted a session on computer security. Their room was filled with interested students! Thanks Anna, Paul, and Peter for helping inspire the next generation of computer scientists!

Today was the departmental holiday party. Security and Privacy lab PhD student Paul Vines asked Dr. CSE how to interpret his advisor’s use of the word “interesting.” We all found that to be a very interesting question. This slide gives Dr. CSE’s guidelines for “How to Interpret Professorese”.

The faculty and student skits were awesome, as always.
