Digital Forensics Virtual Internship Program

Blackstone LaunchPad at UAlbany is facilitating virtual internships for Digital Forensics and Cyber Security during the Summer 2021 semester.  Each internship will consist of a 5 week project which can be extended up to 10 weeks.  Students will be available for approximately 20 hours per week.  Projects can involve a variety of tasks including, but not limited to: cyber security assessments, R&D and prototype development, supporting technology challenges, identifying right technologies to solve problems, online transition of businesses, business plan development.  UAlbany implemented this program during the summer and is looking to continue its success this fall.  We are seeking companies and organizations that have projects and are wiling to host these virtual interns. Interns will be paid by the University.  Projects are sponsored by grants received by Dr. Sanjay Goel in his center (FACETS) for supporting the local community and fostering innovation.
