Since joining UTD in October 2004, she has continued to provide leadership to government programs bygiving presentations on semantic web and data security as well as on data analytics to IARPA’s(Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity) KDD (Knowledge Discovery and Dissemination)Program, Air Force Research Laboratory, The Central Intelligence Agency and also the Department ofHomeland Security’s USVISIT program. She has continued to give presentations and tutorials at severalAir Force Bases including at Offut, Eglin, Lackland, Edwards and Kirkland as well as to the Navy inNorfolk, VA. In addition to advising the US Government and establishing research programs,Thuraisingham has also influenced the field by giving over 70 keynote addresses at major internationalconferences since 1994. She has also provided services as an expert witness and has consulted to thefederal government through corporations.Thuraisingham’s tireless efforts have benefitted her research at UTD a great deal. Together with hercolleagues, she has established a strong research and education program at UTD in Cyber Security thatincludes DoD MURI, NSF Career, AFOSR YIP and NSF SFS (Scholarship for Service) awards. The teamhas also received grants from NIH, ONR, IARPA, NGA and NASA. Thuraisingham’s current efforts arein developing research, infrastructure and education programs in assured cloud computing. She promotesa strong customer-focused, team-oriented collaborative culture and she is working on bringing togetherthe vast number of DFW Corporations to work on interdisciplinary research programs. Most recently, sheis heading an international collaborative effort on assured sharing in a cloud environment.She promotes Math and Science to high school students as well as to women and underrepresentedminorities, and is a member of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). She has given featured addressesat conferences sponsored by WITI (Women in Technology International) and SWE and received the 2001Woman of Color Research Leadership Award from Career Communications Inc. Articles on her effortsand her vision, as well as her team’s research, have appeared in multiple magazines including the DallasMorning News, the Boston Globe, ABC News, D Magazine, MITRE Matters the DFW MetroplexTechnology magazine. She has also appeared on DFW television giving her view on cyber security. Shehas participated in panels on education-related issues including one on protecting children frominappropriate content on the Internet chaired by Hon. Dick Thornburgh in 2000. She is continuing withthese efforts and recently participated in EastWest Institute’s 1 st Worldwide Security Summit panel onprotecting children in cyberspace.14
