    Cybersecurity is a rapidly developing field in which job titles and role descriptions may vary from one organization to the others. The NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NCWF) provides a common language to categorize and describe cybersecurity work for organizations to build a strong workforce. As the predominant workforce prescribed by the NCWF is technical in nature, academic efforts targeted towards these career paths are likewise technical. Though technical security education is critical, an equal amount of knowledge outside the technical domain is pivotal to understand sophisticated challenges in cybersecurity. Articulating a concise, inclusive, meaningful, and unifying approach in cyber related education fosters a balanced motivation for students from both technical and non-technical majors (interdisciplinary) to pursue a career in cybersecurity. Towards this end, we analyzed competencies, knowledge, skills and abilities of interdisciplinary roles and other roles introduced in the NCWF; we then highlighted discrepancies observed.

    Research administrators are integral to the research enterprise, yet the profession remains hindered by the absence of standardized job titles, responsibilities, and compensation frameworks. These inconsistencies drive turnover, restrict career progression, and weaken institutional efficiency. The findings and recommendations from a three-phase National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded GRANTED conference are presented in this study. To begin, regional focus groups with research administration leaders and human resources professionals identified themes related to organizational structures and workforce practices. These insights informed a national survey that produced 2,441 responses across diverse institution types from individuals with more than 1,200 distinct job titles. A final workshop of senior practitioners reviewed the survey results and provided recommendations. Findings indicate that workload, limited advancement opportunities, and inadequate compensation are leading causes of attrition, while misaligned human resources policies, decentralized authority, and regional pay variation prevent standardization. Participants stressed the need for consistent job descriptions, defined competencies, and equitable pay frameworks. The results underscore the importance of developing a national job classification system for research administrators to stabilize the profession and strengthen institutional research infrastructure.

    The need to train new workers effectively and upskill the existing workforce is a challenge faced by almost every industry across the globe. The healthcare industry, in particular, is confronting a crisis. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects a shortage of 10 million healthcare workers by 2030. However, according to the Future of Jobs Report by the World Economic Forum, only half of the workers have access to training and learning opportunities. To sustain a resilient workforce and to protect the health of the world’s population, my thesis looks at using AI and robots to accelerate human learners’ acquisition of workforce skills. Specifically, I develop novel Explainable AI (XAI) algorithms to automate training to enable workers to collaborate with autonomous robots - a trend that is fast-growing. I also use statistical models to model human learner cognitive processes to create Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) systems to generate effective instructions tailored to individual learners. In addition to driving technical advances, my research is having a positive societal impact. I collaborate with Houston Methodist Hospital to create a first-of-its-kind robotic tutor for clinical nursing education to reduce healthcare-associated infections.
