²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ computer science students got some real-world experience in cybersecurity when they joined Retired General Paul M. Nakasone at DEF CON 32, considered the world’s largest conference of hackers. The conference allows hackers to test the latest technology for flaws and give advice on how to avoid being hacked.

Gaining and assessing surgical experience in endoscopic kidney stone surgery is particularly challenging given the limited field of view in the devices. Jie Ying Wu, assistant professor of computer science, is creating an eye-gaze sharing system to complement the current standard of care in which trainees get only verbal feedback. The system allows trainees to see the expert’s gaze. The expert can use their gaze in real time to point to objects on the screen or where the trainee should go next.
