“China’s Shadow War,” Alexander Clark, Class of 2022, Accounting and Intelligence and Security Studies Double Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n
Over the past several decades, it is undeniable that China has greatly increased their influence in the West. For the United States, this has meant a large influx of cheap Chinese goods. As a nation, the United States has allowed the Chinese government to take advantage of generous trade incentives in hopes that further privatization of Chinese industry would foster better cooperation globally. However, without cooperation on the part of the Chinese can this exchange be considered anything other than a shrewd strategy to hide economic and military buildup?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
“Properties of a Sequence Derived from Another Sequence,” Richardo Henriquez, Class of 2022, Math Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n
In this research, we explore the properties of a function that gives (for each input) the number of terms in a sequence greater than the input itself. We will analyze the least number of times the function is applied to a particular input until the output is constant. In particular, we explore this function for sequences of powers. This problem was proposed by Dr. Florentin Smarandache in his paper entitled \u201cThirty- Six Unsolved Problems in Number Theory.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
“Whistle Blowers: Heroes or Traitors,” Will Jensen, Class of 2022, Math, Computer Science, and Cyber Operations Triple Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n
In the present day, the digital world is full of more information than could even be imagined, ranging from the most mundane logs of temperature readings, to content that may be browsed or streamed, to classified documents. With the recent uptake in viewership of the Snowden Documentary, Available on Netflix, this paper will attempt to define what aspects of whistle blowing are good and what aspects of it are bad, determine when it might be appropriate, and explore some case studies through that framework.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
“An Examination and Analysis of Sensor Technology as it Relates to Autonomous Vehicle Design,” Matthew Unden, Class of 2024, Mechanical Engineering Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n
The role of sensor technology in the advancement of vehicle autonomy will be discussed. Major problems regarding sensor technology as it relates to autonomous automotive enhancement will be identified, and recommended solutions to these problems will be presented.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
“Dangerous Technology: Modern Threats Posed by China and Russia,” Cooper Morse, Class of 2025, Intelligence and Security Studies Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n
The emerging technology from China and Russia pose potential serious threats for the US. In this intelligence report, key technologies in China and Russia are analyzed for their threat potential, weaknesses, and overall stake in the race to come out as the most technologically advanced military. These technologies include AI, Space Capable Assets and UGVs, all of which present concerns for national defense and international peace.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
“Understanding the Impact of Quantum Technology on Modern Cryptography,” Shiloh Smiles, Class of 2022, Computer Science and Cyber Operations Double Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n
Modern cryptographical standards are intrinsically threatened by the advent of quantum technology. Standard modern-day cryptography permeates all aspects of life, from individual\u2019s daily correspondence to the most secure business\u2019s inner working. When quantum computing becomes an available technology, all information being encrypted and sent today will become visible to adversaries who care to look for it. Due to the heavily technical nature of quantum computing and its relatively non-immediate nature, most average citizens are not informed as to what quantum computing entails for their security. Understanding the technical and social mechanics of this threat will cause individuals, businesses, and teams alike to be more informed about this threat. In response to the security threat quantum computing poses, several groups, including governmental cybersecurity standard creators, are developing solutions to this future threat. The information in this report was compiled from a variety of reports on the subject of quantum cryptography as well as current government documents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
