Highlights
Two new journal articles have been accepted for publication in 2025, ’'Switching Multiplicative Watermark design against Covert Attack’’ in Automatica, and ’'Kullback-Leibler Divergence-Based Observer Design Against Sensor Bias Injection Attacks in Single-Output Systems’’ in IEEE Trans. Information Forensics and Security.
Javad Parsa has started his Postdoc at my research group in October 2024. Welcome!
Our CDC 2023 paper co-authored by Tung Nguyen has been awarded the Outstanding Student Paper Prize from the IEEE CSS-TC on Networks and Communication Systems. This is a joint work with Zishuo Li, Yilin Mo (Tsinghua Uni.), and Karl Johansson (KTH). Congratulations!
Our article ’'Security Allocation in Networked Control Systems under Stealthy Attacks’’ has been accepted to the IEEE Transaction on Control of Network Systems, 2024.
Four new papers have been accepted to various conferences in 2024, namely CDC, CRITIS, and SysDo. They investigate problems in scalable security analysis and allocation for large-scale systems, control under DoS attacks, and data-driven identification of attack-free sensors. See their details at our lab's website.
Ville Kjellqvist has started his PhD studies at my research group in June 2024. Welcome!
Sribalaji C. Anand has been awarded an International Postdoc Grant from the Swedish Research Council! The grant funds a 3-year postdoc employment at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where the first 2 years would be hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, USA. Congratulations!
Sribalaji C. Anand has successfully defended his Doctoral thesis, congratulations!! Sri's doctoral thesis is available online."
Jingwei Dong has started his Postdoctoral position at my research group in January 2024. Welcome!
On November 29, 2023, I have been appointed as a Wallenberg Academy Fellow 2023. Wallenberg Academy Fellows, the career program for young researchers launched by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation in cooperation with the Swedish Royal Academies in 2012, provides long-term funding for young, promising Swedish and foreign researchers from all academic fields. In 2023, 31 new researchers were appointed to the program.
The Swedish Research Council has funded our project "Probabilistic Methods for Secure Learning and Control" (2024-2027), as part of the special call for projects in cybersecurity.
The Swedish Energy Agency has funded our project ADVOLCANO - "Adverse Voltage Controllers’ Interactions in Active Distribution Networks", led by RISE together with KTH and our group.
A new movie from SSF (the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research) describes our team's research in developing more secure control systems in a popular scientific way.
The Royal Society of Sciences at Uppsala has awarded the Lilly and Sven Thuréus prize 2023, technology-economics class, to André Teixeira for his work in "designing intelligent autonomous decision-making systems that are secure and resilient to external attacks (cyber threats)".
Check out my group's new website: Uppsala Secure Learning and Control Laboratory. We will announce new openings and opportunities there!
