  • Dr. Rebecca Mercuri, “Digital Forensics at the Intersection of Public Policy and Civil Rights”

    Co-sponsored by Dept. of Computer Science & Software Engineering (CSSE) and the New Jersey Coast Section of IEEE

    Tuesday, November 10, 2015

    7 – 9 p.m.

    Bey Hall 113 (Young Auditorium)

    RSVP Information: Not required, though you may register at Technical Talk – Digital Forensics at the Intersection of Public Policy and Civil Rights.

    This event will feature networking and refreshments, guest speaker, and Q & A.

    Digital forensics is a rapidly expanding field where practitioners apply scientific techniques in order to investigate and draw conclusions about evidence, with the goal of presenting findings in courtroom settings. The manner in which the forensics expert is required to perform their work is greatly influenced by prior court rulings and government laws, both recent and older ones dating back to the Nation’s founding. Some public policy and civil rights issues related to computers and digital data will be explored using examples from the speaker’s casework, as well as newsworthy current events.

    ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

    Dr. Rebecca Mercuri is the owner of Notable Software, Inc. where she provides digital forensics investigations and expert witness services for criminal and civil matters, along with computer security and certification compliance evaluations.

    Education includes a B.S. in Computer Science from Penn State, M.S. in Computer Science from Drexel University, as well as an M.S. in Engineering and Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. During 2003-2005 she was a fellow at Harvard University, performing research on computer security topics, and has testified to local, state and federal government agencies on the many inherent problems with electronic voting systems. Her sworn testimony in Bush v. Gore was cited in briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court.

    Dr. Mercuri’s publications include a book chapter on Digital Image Forensics, and numerous Security Watch and Inside Risks articles for the Communications of the ACM magazine, where she also served as a Contributing Editor. Rebecca has held leadership roles with the Association of Computing Machinery, the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the Audio Engineering Society, and is a frequent presenter at conferences and events promoting STEM education. Current hobbies include guitar and vocal music, droning, 3D printing, and amateur/Ham radio.

  • The Wayne D. McMurray School of Humanities and Social Sciences Distinguished Speaker Series

    In 2004, the first public exhumation of a mass grave in Andalucía, Spain took place in the province of Cádiz, bringing to light the buried history of repression under the Franco dictatorship. Professor Cate-Arries’ lecture focuses on the oral testimonies she has recorded with family members of the civilian victims who were “disappeared” by the regime in 1936. She examines how private mourning practices, personal objects of memory, and stories once told behind closed doors preserved a collective memory of the losers of a civil war who decades ago fought for the democratic ideals embraced by today’s Spain.

  • What Lies Beneath: Barnegat Bay

    The Monmouth University Urban Coast Institute will host a symposium exploring the results of a three-year comprehensive study of the health of Barnegat Bay on Tuesday, November 10, 2015. The event, titled “What Lies Beneath: Barnegat Bay,” will feature presentations by three groups of researchers who worked on the study.

    The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) initiated the study to determine the sources and extent of environmental problems in the bay, and identify actions that could be taken to slow and ultimately reverse the bay’s decline. Ten independent research projects were launched to determine the bay’s needs, three of which will be presented at the symposium.

    Members of the public are welcome to attend.
