NCSU'S SCIENCE OF SECURITY LABLET INITIATIVE 
Building on its core strengths in Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science, North Carolina State University (NCSU) has, over the last five years, emerged as a leader in both Analytics education and research. Through university-wide collaboration, our Institute for Advanced Analytics with its pioneering graduate education program, and our Institute for Next Generation Information Technology (ITng) with its security research and translation services, NCSU is well-positioned to apply advanced analytics toward such critical areas as building the scientific underpinnings to software security.
LEAD PI
Laurie Williams is a Professor in the Computer Science Department of the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University (NCSU). Her research focuses on software security particularly in relation to healthcare IT; agile software development practices and processes; software reliability, software testing and analysis; open source software development; and broadening participation and increasing retention in computer science. Laurie has more than 170 refereed publications.
