The Summer 2025 Research Internship in the Emerging Networks and Security (ENaS) Lab offered students an opportunity to engage in hands-on research addressing security challenges in emerging networked systems and technologies.
A significant outcome of the internship was the publication and presentation of two research articles at IEEE CCNC:
- Brice Ockman, Daniel Commey, and Garth V. Crosby, “A Unified Lightweight Benchmark for Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning in Cyber-Physical Systems (Fashion-MNIST Case Study),” Proceedings of the 2026 IEEE 23rd Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC), January 9-12, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
- Uzma Hamid, David Sung, Daniel Commey and Garth V. Crosby, “Resource-Aware Clustered Federated Learning for Industrial Digital Twins: A Reproducible Benchmark on Fashion-MNIST,” Proceedings of the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC) 2026, January 9-12, 2026, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
These accomplishments highlight the internship’s role in fostering student research, innovation, and scholarly impact.
