Wei Yu Sabbatical Presentation
Title: Cyber-Physical Systems and Security Research
Time: October 14, 2016 12:00pm- 12:40pm
Location: YR 205, Towson University
Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce several funded projects in the area of cyber-physical systems and security. Particularly, I will first present a framework to systematically explore the space of threats in the smart grid and understand their impacts on both system operations and end users, as well as the development of both protection and detection mitigation schemes to deal with these attacks. I will then introduce other research areas, including network management protocols in mobile ad hoc networks, network sensor-based framework for network security applications, cloud-based threat monitoring and detection, and transportation cyber-physical systems.
