Three undergraduate students from Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) attended an online research initiative as part of the Texas Undergraduate Research Day held Feb. 23 – 24. This year’s research theme, “Transforming Texas Through Undergraduate Research” highlighted students engaged in research for Texas legislators and the public, and how it positively impacts the state.
Marshal Moncivais, Miguelangel Treviño, and Carlos Delgado submitted their poster presentation titled, “Software for Incorporating Time and Location into Access Control Decisions” under the faculty supervision of Dr. Mustafa Al Lail, an assistant professor of Computer Science and Engineering, School of Engineering.
The virtual poster presentation described an increasing dependency on digital technology and the importance of data security.
The concept is known as the Generalized Spatio-Temporal Role-Based Access Control (GSTRBAC) and described the software and its current implementation of the GSTRBAC model using state-of-art software development technologies.
TAMIU president Dr. Pablo Arenaz congratulated the students and faculty supervisor for their accomplishment and said their selection underscores the university’s commitment to faculty-student research collaboration.
“I congratulate our students on their selection for this statewide research recognition. This type of faculty-student research collaboration is a distinction of our undergraduate program here. These opportunities are a core element in our Strategic Plan that focuses on creating a transdisciplinary and collaborative research environment that fosters discovery, educates our students and community, and generates substantive solutions for a changing global society,” Dr. Arenaz said in a statement.
This year’s Undergraduate Research Day was organized through the Council of Public University Presidents and Chancellors, as well as Independent Colleges and Universities of Texas, Inc. Virtual technology and support services, were provided by UT- Austin’s Office of Undergraduate Research and School of Undergraduate Studies.
In 2018, Smart Energy reported that TAMIU had announced the beginning of construction on a $9.7 million comprehensive campus-wide energy efficiency project intended to streamline facility operations, encourage sustainable behavior, and improve the quality of life for students and staff.
