I am very humbled to be recognized with a University System of Maryland Board of Regents Award for Excellence in Public Service. This the system's highest faculty honor.
I had an amazing team of professors and students working with me on our elections security research. We implemented threat training for over 1,900 poll workers in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, during last fall's General Election. We are continuing our work on risk models for both mail-based and in-person voting.
The U.S. Elections Assistance Commission also just recognized Anne Arundel County with a 2020 Clearinghouse Award for Outstanding Innovation in Election Cybersecurity and Technology! I am thrilled for our community partner, and their transparency and commitment to elections security is an asset for free and fair elections.
This is all in addition to last fall’s Towson University BTU Partnership Award, which recognized our ongoing work with Anne Arundel and Harford Counties. Links to related press releases and articles are available on my Awards page.
