Associate Dean of Research and Academic Services Alicia Salaz will moderate their discussion.
For the second panel, Ritwik Gupta, a machine learning research scientist in the SEI’s Emerging Technology Center, and Dan Costa, the technical team lead of enterprise threat and vulnerability management technical solutions in the CERT Division, will interview students Nicholas Miller, Mary Grace Kozuch, and Sandra Sajeev about their experience in the SEI internship program, highlighting the opportunities and rewards of internship.
