We're thrilled to have Miles Walker, who has been making a significant impact in our team this summer. His dedication, creativity, and fresh perspective have been invaluable. Let's give a big shout-out to the next generation of talent! #CybersecurityEducation #CybersecurityWorkforce #SURFIntern #NISTInternship
Ever wondered what it’s like to intern at NIST? This week, in honor of National Intern Day, we are highlighting some of our Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) student interns! Meet Miles Walker, a Cybersecurity major at Hampton University. Miles is researching human factors and their significance in cybersecurity at the Gaithersburg, MD campus and the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE). Q: What is a high-level overview of the work you do at NIST? I work in the Information Technology Laboratory under the NICE Program, a program dedicated to cybersecurity education, training, and workforce development. For my research project, I am investigating the significance of human factors in cybersecurity and their role in cyber incidents. However, aside from my research, I also perform a variety of other work, such as side projects and events. For one, I put together a spreadsheet of Career and Technical Education (CTE) information for all 50 states. I’m also helping the NICE Team plan events for their Cybersecurity Career Week in October. This past week, I helped with a teacher workshop focused on incorporating cybersecurity education into classrooms. This involved handing out materials, helping with the activities, and performing demonstrations. Q: What is your favorite thing about NIST/SURF? There’s a lot to like about NIST, but my favorite thing is probably the work culture. The people here get work done but are also welcoming, enthusiastic, and helpful, particularly the team I work under. There are also a plethora of events, seminars, and clubs to take part in during my downtime, such as the Rec Tennis League, which I am a member of. They even have a gym, which is a great place to exercise after work. Q: What advice would you give to students interested in SURF? My best piece of advice is to keep an open mind when it comes to research. Research comes in many forms and doesn’t just have to be reading papers and taking notes. You have so many options and projects to work on, so you’ll find something that interests you. Also, don’t feel like you need to know everything about your topic right away; research is all about learning and exploration and is very rarely a straight line. The beauty of it is that you won’t always get the results you expect (or the results you want), but you’ll always come out of it learning something new. Interested in the SURF program? Summer 2025 applications go live this fall. Learn more about SURF: nist.gov/surf #NationalInternDay #Internship #EarlyCareer #Cybersecurity
