Hello my name is Disaiah Bennett, I am a senior undergraduate at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) located in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. I am a computer science major with a scientific concentration, and minor in mathematics. My passion for computer science, led to my interest in analyzing data, networking, programming, and software engineering. I plan on achieving a bachelor’s degree at ECSU and later continuing to pursue an education at a graduate level to obtain my Master's Degree in Data Analytics.

To gain and develop a strong understanding in the field of computer science, I have challenged myself by attending internships, conferences, and a hackathon, to increase my learning for the future.

Enhancing Interactivity and Engagement to the Science Gateway Community Institute Workforce Development Site

The Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing Education and Research (CERSER) on the campus of Elizabeth City State University is a founding member of SGCI led by San Diego Supercomputing Center and the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI). One of the five areas of SGCI is the Workforce Development led by Dr. Linda Hayden. Workforce Development aims to nurture the next generation of gateway users and developers and engage the potential of students from underrepresented groups. As science today grows increasingly computer based, it poses challenges and opportunities for researchers. Scientists and engineers are turning to gateways to allow them to analyze, share, and understand large volumes of data more effectively. The existence of science and engineering gateways and the sophisticated cyberinfrastructure (CI) tools together can significantly improve the productivity of researchers. Most importantly, science gateways can give uniform access to the cyberinfrastructure that enables cutting-edge science. The goal of the web development team was to increase the Interactivity of the SGCI Young Professionals site to attract potential members and disseminate information. This was completed utilizing WordPress Widgets to provide graphical and interactive components. Bootstrap components (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) were also researched for their inclusion into the current WordPress Content Management System (CMS) and the future Liferay CMS.

Return Oriented Programming (ROP) based code reuse attack on Intel SGX

Knowing the potential leakage inside SGX enclave caused by software vulnerabilities, new understandings are needed to mitigate the threat. From that which is known, two recent works are published on this topic. SGX-Shield at NDSS'17 proposed load-time randomization, and "Hacking in Darkness: Return- oriented Programming against Secure Enclaves" to appear at Usenix Security'17. By following the research routine: a basic attack outside SGX to understand ROP, the ROP attack inside SGX enclave, and JIT-ROP to bypass SGX-Shield. After we can propose mitigation strategies, such as run-time live re-randomization. Both parts of JIT-ROP inside SGX and run-time live re-randomization are research problems we can try to solve.

Use of Python Scripts to Compare and Contrast Photo Images

In python there is an ability to write python scripts for a variety of projects. For this project the python script was written to perform an image comparison. This was done with various libraries that are included in the python language. These libraries include Image, OpenCV, and etc. Thus, when importing these the program would ask the user for two images and the size for the images the program would display the pixel values for the images as well as display an image were if the pixels of the two images matched the image would be "black out" for that section. The team later found out that to compare the images the team needed to resize the two images as well as that to have the program run on different computer the necessary libraries needed to be on the new computer. Therefore, in the future the team decided that the program would need to be more robust and efficient.

Performance Improvement for Cloud Internet Services

IBM Cloud Internet Service (CIS) API was developed to process HTTP requests with the assistance of cloudflare. With the production of the API, IBM needed the API to perform at a higher level and produce/handle more than 100 request per second. To fix the problem, a new python module was developed in reference to the pyCURL module. With the implementation of the module, the system was able to produce more request with an overall improved performance.
