Lorie M. Liebrock

Lorie M. Liebrock is a Professor and Director of the Cybersecurity Centers at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering within the College of Engineering at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech). She holds a Professor rank with no indication of part-time status.

• Education: B.S. and M.S. from Michigan Technological University, Ph.D. from Rice University
• Research Interests: Cybersecurity, Graphics and Visualization, Parallel Processing, and Well Posedness Analysis

Her research focuses on parallel computing with emphasis on problem topology for automated data distribution in composite grid applications. She developed algorithms for irregular mesh problems in domains like aircraft aerodynamics and nuclear reactor simulations, creating program templates and style guidelines for High Performance Fortran transformations. Collaborative work with Pat Teller at UTEP explores adaptive parallelization techniques for evolving computational environments.

In cybersecurity, her work spans browser security analysis, malware visualization, cloud permission management, and user authentication graph analysis. Google Scholar articles (2016–2025) reflect expertise in machine learning for security classification, digital forensics infrastructure, and hypervisor-assisted malware analysis.

Her academic contributions include publications on SPMD hybrid parallel computation, RAID system forensics, and noise reduction in Linux environments. Though no personal scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, her leadership as Cybersecurity Centers Director and involvement in NSF REU programs underscores institutional recognition of her expertise.
