Senior Projects
I will be happy to help any student on their senior project (as long as I am able to handle to load). If you want my help then:
1. Determine an area or topic for
your project (IMPORTANT - see
TOPICS below).
2. Arrange a meeting to discuss your
plans.
3. If I think I can help you I will ask
for a short one page summary,
otherwise I will suggest another
faculty member.
GOAL: My
goal with any senior project is to give you the experience of a research
project, to
that end I will attempt to work
with you to
produce a paper which may be
submitted for publication.
REQUIREMENTS: You must be able to meet with me at least once a week to discuss progess on the project.
TOPICS
The first rule for any senior project is
to find a topic that interests you. You will be working on it
for the better part of a year so if you do not find it interesting in
the beginning you will hate it by the end.
While I will be willing to consider any project, I will be most open to senior projects in any of the the following areas:
1.
Development of a Genetic Algorithm for
cryptoanalysis
2. Simulation of a quantum computer
3.
Development of a Cellular Automata
simulation
4. Analysis of an Intrusion Detection System
5. FPGA Implementation of a cipher system
6. Design of a hardware multiplication chip
7. Simulation of a DNA Computer
8. Using a genetic algorithm to factor integers
