I am a part time student currently seeking a Master’s of Science in Computer and Information Sciences with an Information Technology concentration having a security focus. I plan on doing a master’s thesis on smart card security or may choose the High Performance Computing Capstone track. I have now completed 9 credit hours of my graduate work. I am currently on academic hiatus due to my recent employment at Eastman Chemical Company and the need for proper acclimation to the new position. I plan to return the Fall semester of 2009.
