Jeremy Straub is an assistant professor of computer science and the associate director of the Institute for Cyber Security Education and Research at North Dakota State University. His research focuses on the intersections between technology and policy in both the artificial intelligence and cybersecurity areas. He is the lead inventor on two U.S. patents and has published over 50 journal articles and hundreds of conference papers. He is a member of multiple professional societies, including the American Society for Engineering Education and SPIE. His work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Security Agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and other sources.
As a Challey Fellow in 2019-2020, Dr. Straub’s policy research will focus on two key areas. First, it will consider law and policy related to the defense against national government attacks and the impact of current regulations on private enterprise, innovation and growth. A second project will address the international civil and criminal liability for the failure of autonomous command systems and responsibility when they cause significant injury, economic loss or death across national borders.
