Starting their freshmen year, students have the opportunity for hands-on research with world-renowned faculty in high-demand areas including radar, communications, network information security, and computer systems. This includes state-of-the-art lab space for research on improving artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, and stealth technology.

KU’s information security club, the Jayhackers, hosts a weekend-long hackathon for students looking to test their cybersecurity skills and network with professionals. The Jayhackers also frequently compete in cyberdefense competitions. Another key cybersecurity initiative is KU’s $4.7 million NSF grant-funded CyberCorps Scholarship for Service program, which offers collaborations with the NSA and U.S. Army.

A $2 million gift from the Silicon Valley financial technology company Ripple supports a comprehensive program at KU to research technologies related to blockchain, cryptocurrency and digital payments.
