Get to Know Me
My work impacts society...
by enhancing resilience of electricity as a critical infrastructure.
I first discovered my passion for this work...
in 2006, when cyber vulnerability was emerging as a serious threat to critical infrastructures due to the fast increasing connectivity.
Something I learned in my research this year that surprised me...
Increasingly sophisticated forms of cyber attacks require a holistic strategy for defense and resilience.
