Makenzie Robertson * Computer Forensics : File Recovery A file is an object on a computer that stores data , information , settings , or commands needed for a computer program . Computer forensic investigators recover files that may contain evidence . There are many forensics tools and techniques used to restore deleted or hidden files during a forensic investigation . While recovering some files involves multiple steps and tools , the forensic examiner must methodically make sure to not overlook potential evidence . This research project will look at the steps a forensic investigator takes to recover deleted , hidden , or encrypted files . Sydney Robinson * AI in Motion : The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Social Media This research will look at how artificial intelligence ( AI ) is influencing well-known services including LinkedIn , TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , and YouTube . User engagement can be increased by using an AI-based recommendation algorithm . The algorithm considers a user ’ s personality , which in turn enhances the platform and overall user experience . Following an examination of the advantages of AI for organizations utilizing these platforms , an outline of the impacts of this technology on social media users will be provided . John Rodgers * Xiaomi ’ s Robotic Cyberdog In CIS 205 , Machine Learning , students are building and training a Xiaomi quadruped robotic cyberdog . This artificial intelligent robotic dog has two deep-learning acceleration engines , six microphones , image-sensors and multiple cameras which allow the robot to respond realtime to the environment and follow commands . Used by China ’ s military , part of our robot did not make it through US customs . This presentation will introduce Xiaomi ’ s cyberdog ’ s capabilities and discuss some of the challenges and obstacles the students have been working on . Come learn how artificial intelligence and machine learning scientists work as a team to problem-solve .
Nicholas Shaheen * Software-Defined Radio Software-defined Radio ( SDR ) is a radio communication system that utilizes software instead of conventional hardware components to monitor radio waves . A simple setup can consist of a computer and a radio frequency front-end or receiver . SDR allows a variety of radio waves to be interpreted through the central processing unit ( CPU ) instead of various hardware components . The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the use of SDR as well as identify its future potential in the defense and aerospace industry . SDR currently monitors aircrafts , ships , and other entities that utilize radio waves . 12
