We are proud to announce that a CRADLE Lab paper has been accepted at the FIE 2026 Annual Conference (IEEE Frontiers in Education). The paper presents a gamified, generative AI-based cybersecurity laboratory for password security education, and was written by a team that spans faculty, graduate, and undergraduate researchers.
The Accepted Paper
GAME Lab: A Gamified, Generative AI-Based Cybersecurity Laboratory for Password Security Education
Grace LaBelle, Oguz Kagnici, Tyler Judd, Ali Arslan, Alvin Huseinovic, Halil Bisgin, Suleyman Uludag
A hands-on cybersecurity lab that combines game-based learning with generative AI to teach students about password security.
Congratulations to the Team
Congratulations to everyone involved! This acceptance is a great recognition of the team’s creativity and hard work in bringing game-based learning and generative AI into cybersecurity education.
A special thank you to Grace LaBelle, first author of the paper; to Oguz Kagnici and Tyler Judd, whose contributions as undergraduate researchers helped shape the lab; to Ali Arslan and Alvin Huseinovic from our graduate team; and to our faculty, Dr. Halil Bisgin and Dr. Suleyman Uludag, for their guidance and mentorship throughout.
We look forward to sharing this work at FIE 2026 and to announcing more results from the lab soon.
