ECE Departmental Seminar - Cyber-Physical Systems Security: Models, Analysis, and Applications
In this talk, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in the research area of cyber-physical systems (CPS) security. We first study the difference between information/network security and CPS security. We then introduce some control-theoretic and optimization tools to model and analyze CPS security, with potential applications in attack detection and identification in CPS.
Ling Shi received his B.E. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2002 and Ph.D. degree in Control and Dynamical Systems from The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2008. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at HKUST. His research interests include cyber-physical systems security, networked control systems, sensor scheduling, event-based state estimation, and multi-agent robotic systems (UAVs and UGVs). He received the 2024 Chen Fan-Fu Award given by the Technical Committee on Control Theory, Chinese Association of Automation (TCCT, CAA). He is a member of the Young Scientists Class 2020 of the World Economic Forum (WEF), a member of The Hong Kong Young Academy of Sciences (YASHK), and he is an IEEE Fellow.
