Alex Marder is an assistant professor of computer science, a member of the Data Science and AI Institute, and a member of the Institute for Assured Autonomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marder\u2019s research covers a wide breadth of networking areas, including the use of empirical analyses and machine learning to evaluate and improve the security and performance of wired and wireless networks. His current work leverages a deep understanding of network architecture and deployment to design secure 5G communication networks for the Department of Defense, reveal security weaknesses in domestic internet access networks, and provide a better understanding of broadband inequity. He received a DARPA Young Faculty Award in 2025.<\/p>\n

He earned a BS from Brandeis University and a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to joining Johns Hopkins, he was a research scientist at the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis at the University of California, San Diego.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4592","people","type-people","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAlex Marder - Doctor of Engineering<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/faculty\/alex-marder\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Alex Marder - Doctor of Engineering\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Alex Marder is an assistant professor of computer science, a member of the Data Science and AI Institute, and a member of the Institute for Assured Autonomy.
