SJSU's College of Engineering was recently named one of eight colleges and universities across the nation to participate in the National Science Foundation Cyber Security Research Center. Research at the multi-institution research center will be focused on improving the reliability of the nation's computer infrastructure to protect against cyber attacks. Sigurd Meldal, professor of computer engineering, who will join the center's board of directors, will lead SJSU's efforts on behalf of the center and coordinate its education program. The TRUST (Team for Research in Ubiquitous Secure Technology) effort has been funded by a nearly $19 million, five-year grant from the NSF as part of its national science and technology centers program.
