Dependable Cyber-Physical Systems Laboratory
In DeCPS, we will focus on increasing the resilience of cyber-physical systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) through advanced network and system technologies.
Our research interests span multiple disciplines in computer science/engineering and electrical engineering. These disciplines include cyber-security, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and applicable deep learning techniques. We are also interested in other advanced techniques that can help our projects, including deep learning, Blockchain-based fault-tolerance, etc.
To Prospective Students
- I am looking for highly self-motivated Ph.D. students who are strongly committed to research in the direction related to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI). If you are interested, please send your CV, transcripts, TOEFL and GRE scores, and everything else that you believe will help your application to me.
- Strong programming experiences in Linux are required.
- Knowledge in software-defined networking (SDN) and edge computing is preferred, but not required.
- Experiences in deep learning and data analytics are preferred, but not required.
