Professor in computer science and software engineering earns two National Science Foundation grants to research software security weaknesses

Akond Rahman, an assistant professor in computer science and software engineering, was awarded two National Science Foundation, or NSF, awards as lead principal investigator totaling $332,000 in grant funding.

“DevOps is the state-of-the-art process to develop software,” Rahman said. “The market value of DevOps is expected to reach $12.8 billion USD by 2025. If there are unmitigated security weaknesses in DevOps artifacts, that will create large-scale consequences now and in the future. As a firm believer of equipping students with practical knowledge, I have focused my academic efforts to learn about security weaknesses in DevOps artifacts.”
