"Something to be proud of"

Some of the most cited – and most influential – research produced at the University of New Haven is the result of its Cyber Forensics Research and Education Group, which, in just the two years since it was founded, has quickly risen to become one of the top such research labs in the world.

The group, comprising students and faculty, has been published extensively in such publications and conferences as the Journal of Digital Investigation, the Digital Forensic Research Workshop, and the International Conference of Availability, Reliability, and Security (ARES). The research lab also hosted the National Conference on Digital Forensics.

The lab was the first to create an open-source tool drone, the DJI Drone, which is already being used by outside entities. The Artifact Genome Project, launched by the group this summer, is a centralized hub meant to connect forensics specialists around the globe so that they can share digital information and learn from one another.

  • ASOS is the abbreviation of the research lab founded by Dr. Gokhan Egilmez. The word ASOS was inspired by the famous city, Assos, where Aristotle started the first Academy, "Academy of Assos", which is currently located in the city of Çanakkale, Turkey. In fact, each letter represents the broad research area that we work on, namely: A: Analytics, S: Sustainability, O: Optimization, and S: Simulation.
