Quick poll
by Naren Ramakrishnan 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Sanghani Colleagues, Quick poll to you: Do you have any collaborations/research partnerships with anybody at Imperial College (London) or NTU (Singapore)? We are talking to researchers at Rolls-Royce and it looks like there could be good synergies or efficiencies if we could combine forces with other schools. Thanks. Best, Naren

Talk by Dr. Dan Li (5:00-6:15pm, November 8th)
by Ismini Lourentzou 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

Dear all, You are cordially invited to attend the talk by Dr. Dan Li from the Department of Industrial Engineering at Clemson University (flyer attached). *Title:* Cyberattack Detection and Localization for Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems and Critical Infrastructures *Time:* 5:00-6:15 pm, November 8 *Location:* Surge Space Building 104B *Zoom: * <https://virginiatech.zoom.us/j/5961845863> https://virginiatech.zoom.us/j/81666970435 *Abstract*: Industry 4.0 and technological frameworks have prompted a growing wave of digital transformation across numerous industrial sectors, ranging from manufacturing and power generation industries to critical civil infrastructures. This transformation is primarily enabled by the broad deployment of sensor technologies, faster and more reliable wireless communications (e.g., 5G), sophisticated plug-and-play industrial control systems (ICSs), and pervasive computation capabilities. Historically, ICSs used to have their own proprietary networks that were difficult to penetrate due to their isolation from the internet. The increased connectivity in Industry 4.0 and digital transformation have created unique cyber-physical security vulnerabilities. This talk will focus on detecting cyberattacks that target the physical performance of critical systems and capital-intensive assets. I will discuss a novel framework that combines system modeling and statistical learning for detecting and localizing cyberattacks in a typical complex ICS network – the smart grid, in near real-time. I will also briefly talk about some other emerging cybersecurity research on cyber-physical systems. *Biography*: Dr. Dan Li is an assistant professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Clemson University. She received her Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and M.S. in Statistics from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2021 and 2020, respectively. She received her B.S. in Mechanical (Automotive) Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2015. Her research interests include cybersecurity for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) / Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), machine learning systems, sensor-based anomaly detection, and complex system modeling. Specifically, she is interested in developing new data-driven methodologies that are tailored for securing CPSs. Dr. Li is the recipient of the Best Track Paper Award in Data Analytics and Information Systems (DAIS) and has been recognized in Best Student Paper Competitions in Energy Systems, DAIS, and Quality Control and Reliability Engineering (QCRE) divisions at the IISE Annual Conferences.
