CAREERS Jean Tu , Class of 2018, Computer Science/ Business Administration, Minor in Applied Computer Security Software Engineer, Cisco Systems Inc I create automation tools to help my team focus on fixing the vulnerabilities within our suite of products.

RESEARCH FOCUS: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) LAB: CPS-VIDA (Verification, Intelligence, Design, and Analysis)

RESEARCH PROJECT: Using AI and Machine Learning to improve safety of self-driving vehicles

On a typical day I check to make sure that none of the automation tools are broken, holding meetings with my team members to understand the scope of the project as well as needed modifications and spending time with my friends from the Early in Career Network at Cisco. I love that I have opportunities to solve problems that will help us remain compliant with our service-level agreements with our customers. I also have the wonderful opportunity to help lead the Early in Career Network within Cisco to help new grads form connections with other young professionals!
