    <strong>Risk analysis</strong> can play a large role in helping policy makers, system owners, security experts, and designers improve cyber security by providing insights into the most likely systems can be compromised, fail, and the potential consequences. However, many decision makers and security practitioners do not adopt or employ formal risk analysis methods that could help prioritize investments and mitigations. This talk provides an overview of formal risk analysis approaches and discusses some of the challenges in applying those methods to critical information systems and cyber infrastructure.</div>
    <div><br></div>

    <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasoncreinhardt/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>Jason Reinhardt</strong></a> is a national security systems analyst, with a focus on deterrence, strategic stability, quantitative probabilistic risk analysis methods, cyber and critical infrastructure security, and nuclear matters. He holds a PhD in risk analysis from Stanford University, where his research focused on probabilistic assessments of deterrence failure risk as a function of conflict parameters. Dr. Reinhardt currently serves as a distinguished member of technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories, where his work focuses on assessment and analysis of escalatory risk, deterrence in nuclear and cyber domains, nonproliferation, and the use of experimental wargames as analytic tools. He also researches on the development and application of risk assessment and analysis methods for critical infrastructure at a national scale. In previous roles, he managed a group of Sandia scientists and engineers that focused on technical studies to guide policy and decision makers across government as well as focusing on a variety of national and homeland security topics. He is also an adjunct associate professor of industrial engineering at Purdue University, where he teaches courses on deterrence and disruptive technologies, risk analysis, and systems engineering.

    <div><strong>Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:</strong></div>
    <div>In my role as a Data Analyst Intern at ActiveCharge, my primary focus centers around the meticulous analysis of both weather data and wind turbine data. Our central project aims to develop a robust model for the accurate detection of faulty wind turbine blades. Here's a glimpse into a typical day in my internship:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>I commence my day by ensuring that the weather and wind turbine data is not just collected but also thoroughly cleansed and prepared for in-depth analysis. This initial step is pivotal to ensure the quality and accuracy of our subsequent work.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The core of my responsibilities lies in the comprehensive exploration of the data. I engage in performing rigorous statistical analyses and craft visual representations that illuminate potential patterns and correlations, particularly with respect to turbine blade faults. This process requires a keen eye for detail and a data-driven mindset.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>In my capacity as an intern, I also play a key role in keeping the team informed and updated. Regularly, I share progress reports, highlighting our achievements, and addressing any challenges or roadblocks that we may encounter. Effective communication is an essential component of our collaborative efforts.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>In summary, my internship at ActiveCharge provides an exciting and engaging opportunity to immerse myself in the world of data analysis and model development, all within the context of renewable energy solutions. Each day presents new challenges and opportunities for growth, and I am delighted to contribute to a project that has the potential to make a positive impact in the field.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong></div>
    <div>I discovered the opportunity for my position through an active job search during my search for a summer internship. I had been proactively networking and reaching out to various companies via email. Fortunately, I came across ActiveCharge, and it happened that they were actively looking for a Data Analyst Intern. After an initial email contact, they conducted an interview, and I was fortunate to secure the position.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What resources did you use to find your current experience?</strong></div>
    <div>UMBC Career Center, Handshake</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?</strong></div>
    <div>One of the most gratifying aspects of my position and being part of this organization is the ever-changing nature of my daily tasks. Each day presents new challenges and opportunities, allowing me to continually learn and grow. This variety keeps the work engaging and exciting, and it has provided me with a broad range of experiences in a relatively short period. It's been a valuable opportunity to expand my skill set and adapt to different aspects of the data analysis field, making it a truly rewarding experience.</div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><strong>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?</strong></div>
    <div>When seeking an internship or similar experience, my advice is to prioritize active networking by engaging with professionals and attending industry events, which can open doors to valuable connections. Be persistent in your application efforts, as rejections are common; keeping a consistent application schedule is crucial. Tailoring your applications to specific companies by conducting thorough research showcases your genuine interest. Lastly, start your internship search early to increase your chances of securing the right opportunity.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.</strong></div>
    <div>The Career Center was an invaluable resource throughout my job search. Their guidance and support helped me navigate the complex world of applications, interviews, and networking. I particularly appreciated their personalized advice and the wealth of opportunities they exposed me to. </div>

    <h3>Terra Miley, <br>'25 Chemical Engineering - biotechnology &amp;  bioengineering track, Minor: Entrepreneurship</h3>
    
    <p><strong>When did you do your Research?</strong></p>
    
    <p>Center for Advanced Sensor Technology with Dr. Govind Rao at UMBC</p>
    <p><strong>What is the focus of your Research?</strong></p>
    <p>The focus of my research is fluorescent sensor technology and developing genetically encoded sensors to be used in Cell-Free Bioreactors.</p>
    <p><strong>What do you enjoy the most about your Research? </strong></p>
    <p>I am surrounded by extremely intelligent engineers and researchers from whom I have the privilege to learn so much from. I am specifically looking forward to working with my mentors, Chad Sundberg Ph.D. student and Dr. Govind Rao, to become a better researcher as well as advancing in my project.</p>
    <p><strong>What was the best part of your Research OR What was the biggest learning moment of your Research ?</strong></p>
    <p>The best part of my research experience are the small wins and discoveries that are made in the lab each and everyday. Through working with others, it is amazing to see what can happen when multiple different people approach a problem. I have been able to apply what I learn in my classes to my research project. I have been able to learn so much from others, and I look forward to continuing to learn and apply our research to solve real-world problems.</p>
    <p><strong>What advice do you have for students who are interested in getting involved in research or an internship?</strong></p>
    <p>My advice is to not hesitate to reach out to research labs or internships that you are interested in. Reach out early and do research ahead of time to learn about the research done in the lab.</p>
    <p><strong>Are you a member of any clubs/campus organizations?</strong></p>
    <p>I am the Secretary and Communications Conference Chair for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers as well as the Panhellenic Delegate and Historian for Phi Mu, Phi Gamma Chapter. I was also a teaching fellow for ENCH 215, Chemical Engineering Analysis, during the summer.</p>
    <p><strong>What are your goals after graduation?</strong></p>
    <p>After graduation I plan to continue my education in graduate school, to hopefully pursue my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering.</p>

    <div><br></div>
    <p><strong>When did you do your Internship?</strong></p>
    <p>June 2023</p>
    <p><strong>Where was your Internship?</strong></p>
    <p>Clene Nanomedicine in North East, Maryland</p>
    <p><strong>What is the focus of your Internship?</strong></p>
    <p>I evaluated the amount of the edible gold nanoparticle medication in samples. The medication is intended to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's, ALS, and MS.</p>
    <p><strong>What are you looking forward to the most about your Internship? </strong></p>
    <p>I had prior experience as a Federal Employee for a Federal Contractor. Working at Celene allowed me to expand my experience. I was inspired to work at Celene, a small pharmaceutical company, because they focus on developing medications for diseases that are frequently underfunded and aim to treat conditions like Parkinson's, ALS, MS, and many more. </p>
    <p><strong>What was the best part of your Internship OR What was the biggest learning moment of your Internship ?</strong></p>
    <p>The highlight of my internship was when a drug trial participant found out they were likely to be examined by the FDA and they sent a heartfelt email promising to do anything they could to support Clene Nanomedicine. The treatment they received as a drug trial participant was life changing for them. </p>
    <p><strong>What advice do you have for students who are interested in getting involved in research or an internship?</strong></p>
    <p>My advice would be to diversify the applications to help find what is best for you, even if you think you might not be eligible for some jobs. As a chemical engineering major I even applied to roles for electrical engineering at NASA and got an interview. I got interviews for positions I applied to mechanical engineering roles, process control roles, safety roles. Applying to various positions allowed me to explore all the options and select the position that was the best fit for me.</p>
    <p><strong>Are you a member of any clubs/campus organizations?</strong></p>

    <p><strong>What are your goals after graduation?</strong></p>
    <p>I plan to work in the industry after graduation. I am still deciding if I want to pursue a graduate degree.</p>
