About me
Juliana Furgala is an associate technical staff member in the Secure Resilient Systems and Technology Group. Currently she is researching secure and recoverable satellite systems. Interested in the pursuit of technology built with security in mind, she aims to develop lasting technology that can stand the test of adversaries, not just the test of time. Her recently published research focuses on the needs of embedded and real-time systems, specifically related to operating system development.
To lower the barrier of entry into STEM fields, she is involved in a variety of academic and outreach efforts. One such activity was founding LL EduCATE, a volunteer group that develops accessible, hands-on courses to introduce middle and high school students to the possibilities of STEM. The first course, an Introduction to Engineering Concepts was created for both independent student study and collaborations with educators.
Juliana received her BS degree in computer science in 2019 from Tufts University. She is currently pursuing an MS degree in cybersecurity at Georgia Institute of Technology.
