Dr. Conan C. Albrecht, professor of Information Systems at Brigham Young University, teaches enterprise development, middleware, business programming and technology security. Dr. Albrecht researches computer-based fraud detection techniques, e-commerce platforms and online group dynamics. He has published several articles on fraud detection and information theory in numerous academic and professional outlets. The core of this research is detectlets, which encode background and detection information for specific fraud schemes. He hopes the system will eventually serve as the foundation of a large, online repository of detectlets about all types of fraud in the next few years.
