Secure and Reliable Smart Cyber-Physical Systems

Smart Cyber-Physical Systems (SCPS) are heterogeneous inter-operable autonomous entities that play a crucial role in critical infrastructures. And as a result of supporting novel communication and remote control features, they became more dependent on connectivity, which increased attack surfaces and introduced errors that elevated the likelihood of SCPS errors. Additionally, they may cause new types of errors, faults, and vulnerabilities, leading to significant economic damage. In my ongoing and future research, I aim to develop scalable solutions that satisfy the systems’ requirements, ensure security, and support resilience and synergy between the components of SCPS. My research activities involve the application of software engineering methodologies and artificial intelligence techniques to solve critical societal and industrial problems related to SCPS.
