SYSTEM ANALYTICS for COMMUNICATIONS and ENERGY (SACE) LAB

Research focus:

• Building a scalable probabilistic theory to enable the fundamental understanding of cascading failures in complex, coupled power-grid, communication/control network, and human factors under WMD-based stressor.

• Research work on modeling, optimizing and testing resource allocation policies in small-scale heterogeneous distributed-computing systems (DCS) consisting of geographically and/or logically distant computational elements (CEs) which can be affected by severe long-term damages such as those inflicted by weapons of mass destruction (WMD). 

• Developing data-driven probabilistic strategies for adaptive protection of smart grids against cyber threats.
