My student @AmPaschal01 recently presented his work "ZTDJava" at @ICSEconf.
He brought a new perspective to securing systems with third-party components, based on NIST's Zero-Trust Architecture paradigm.
Here's a blog post summarizing the work:

A team of #PurdueECE students has built a record-breaking machine that solves a RUBIKāS Cube faster than the blink of an eye šļø!
Congrats to Brock Berta, Aden Hurd, Junpei Ota, & Matthew Patrohay on this remarkable achievement!
Come see the machine today (Fri) until 3 in MSEE!

The US is a representative democracy. The legislative branch is constituted of representatives who (at least nominally) act in the interests of their constituents. It is the duty of US citizens to inform their representatives of their views.
Today I did so. Did you?

My student Dharun Anand presented at ASE'24, connecting the dots between some of his workshop papers. Great to connect the dots!
TL;DR: FAIL helps us find and collate news articles about software failures. How could it help us engineer better?

My student Nick Eliopoulos will present a paper at @wacv_official 2025, describing the non-linear relationship between latency and tokens for vision transformer optimization.
TL;DR: Prune one more token and you might get a big latency benefit.
