Deepfakes have made headlines more and more in recent years, with many discussing way to detect and combat these computer-generated images. At Texas A&M University, an ocean engineering faculty member is working with his students to develop better ways to tell the difference between real and fake images. We sat down with Dr. Freddie Witherden, assistant professor, to learn more.

On this episode of Ask an Engineer, the SoundBytes team asks Dr. Freddie Witherden how the average person can spot a deepfake image. The answer might surprise you...

This week on The Wire, how students from across the globe are coming together to design solutions to far-reaching challenges. 

How is picking a lock similar to breaking into a computer? Dr. Jeyavijayan "JV" Rajendran, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, poses this exact question to his students. Rajendran is researching ways to improve hardware security, which has a become a weak link in cybersecurity. He also has found a passion for helping students get excited about cybersecurity through a "capture the flag" type competition called Hack@DAC.

Bringing together fact and fiction - be it the lunar landing or "That's no moon" - space exploration has been a fascination for humankind throughout history.
