These stories highlight how hands-on experience is helping them grow professionally and launch successful careers in tech.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to <strong>Collins Otieno<\/strong>, Computer Science major at Ramapo.  This summer, Collins is interning at Michigan State University as a research assistant in the Secure and Intelligent Things (SEIT) Lab, led by Dr. Qiben Yan. He&#8217;s working on a privacy-preserving, multimodal anomaly detection system for smart homes that integrates sensor, audio, and visual data to detect critical events like falls. A highlight of the project is the use of cross-knowledge transfer to train a sensor-only model that inherits the accuracy of multimodal learning while preserving user privacy. This experience strengthens his skills in machine learning, IoT security, and ethical data handling while allowing him to contribute to research that supports safer living for older adults.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you are in any of the DMC majors &#8211; Computer Science, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Mathematics, and Bioinformatics &#8211; and would like to be featured, please contact Dr. Al-Juboori (aaljuboo@ramapo.edu) or Dr. Frees (sfrees@ramapo.edu)!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the DMC\u2019s Highlight Your Internship Story series, where we showcase the impressive work our students are doing during their internships.
