About Professor Moskal

I am a cybersecurity and information systems educator and workforce development leader with over 20 years of experience at Saint Peter’s University, where I served as Department Chair and founded the M.S. in Cyber Security program and Data Science Institute. I have led the development of innovative academic programs, cybersecurity centers, and industry-aligned internship pipelines, while teaching across a broad portfolio of graduate and undergraduate courses spanning cybersecurity, data science, and IT governance.

My work integrates applied learning with frameworks such as NIST to prepare students for real-world cyber operations and risk management roles. I have contributed to national research initiatives, including serving as Project Director on a $7.9M IARPA program for the Office of National Intelligence at the University of Notre Dame, and have co-authored multiple ACM and IEEE publications.

My academic contributions include Scholar-in-Residence appointments at NYU in areas such as cybersecurity, virtual reality, and robotics, editorial board roles for leading journals, and recognition including the ISECON Meritorious Paper Award. In parallel, I have led large-scale workforce initiatives such as CyberNYC through iQ4, advancing public-private partnerships to build cybersecurity talent pipelines. Prior to academia, I spent 25 years in industry, including leadership at Ernst & Young in New Your City, delivering enterprise security architecture and risk solutions for organizations such as the New York Stock Exchange and American Express.

“Teaching courses in computer science, cyber security, and engineering requires a constant knowledge of the the subject matter. From a teaching standpoint, my classroom is an environment that encourages students to participate and engage in subject matter discussion. I use a good amount of multimedia and internet links in the presentations. By doing this, it makes the learning material more interactive and dynamic, and sparks the students interests in what is presented. I like to bring into the classroom real-world scenarios and business cases for students to learn from and work on. I will have students work in small teams, usually 2 or 3 per team, and have them develop color-coded diagrams, if applicable for assignments, providing a visual representation of what they are learning. I also like to have students make presentation to demonstrate their proficiency and command of the course material and subject matter. I believe that teacher enthusiasm in the classroom is very important. An inspired teacher yields inspired and well-educated students.”
