Decentralized Science Lab launches cutting-edge computing research
Recently, Kennesaw State University assistant professor Reza Parizi came across email from a former student in his inbox. Now a graduate student at the University of Georgia, Gianni Orlando thanked Parizi for allowing him to conduct research in the Kennesaw State’s Decentralized Science Lab (DSL), where he performed AI related research alongside faculty experts. “If it wasn’t for the work I conducted in the DSL, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” he said. Like Orlando, there are more than a dozen students each semester who conduct research in the lab under the guidance of computer science and software engineering faculty in KSU’s College of Computing and Software Engineering. The lab, founded in 2018 by Parizi, is responsible for cutting-edge research into decentralized computing concepts and their enabling technologies to provide cybersecurity solutions across multidisciplinary domains, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and internet of things. – July 08, 2020
