Advanced Equitable Computing Program Description
The proposed Advanced and Equitable Computing doctoral program covers Equitable Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Cryptography &amp;amp; Algorithms. Equitable <br>computing addresses challenges, resolutions and innovations in emotional, empathic, reliable, governable, traceable, resilient and responsible computing for all people. Comprehensive equitable computing has recently been adopted as a principle by the Department of Defense (DoD). Quantum Cryptography addresses cybersecurity challenges today and in the soon to be quantum age and the post quantum age. The proposed Advanced and Equitable Computing doctoral program seeks to enhance research capacity and apply advanced and equitable computing approaches to solve real work problems. Morgan is designated as Maryland’s Preeminent Public Urban Research <br>University and is striving to reach Carnegie Research R-1 status. It is imperative that Morgan establishes this doctoral program to educate and train high level professionals entering into industry, academia, and government to comprehensively improve advanced computing with the much needed, but unfortunately lacking, equitable aspects.
