Mr. Joshua Jones, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering student at Prairie View A & M University (HBCU), presented research on "Cybersecurity Hardening of RCMD’s Chemical Material Systems" at the 2025 Army HBCU-MI SPARK Symposium on August 6, 2025. They conducted this research from June through August 2025 as part of the Army HBCU-MI SPARK summer internship at U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center – Aberdeen Proving Ground (DEVCOM CBC-APG), under the mentorship of Dr. Candace Rock.

Mr. Jones was one of 18 highly qualified interns in the 2025 Army HBCU-MI SPARK cohort who contributed directly to the Army’s research mission through hands-on projects at Army research facilities across the country. These students brought emerging technical knowledge and fresh perspectives to real-world challenges, strengthening Army research teams and advancing critical science and technology efforts. By engaging early-career talent through meaningful mentorship and immersive research experiences, the SPARK program supported long-term talent acquisition goals, fostered innovation aligned with Army modernization priorities, and helped ensure a strong, future-ready STEM workforce for the Army. In turn, the program provided participating students with unique opportunities to apply their academic training to pressing research challenges, develop professional skills alongside Army scientists and engineers, and gain exposure to defense-related career paths.
