Welcome to my website

I am Dr. Yohannes B. Bekele, an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Hampton University, where I lead the Cyber-Physical Systems Security Research Laboratory. My work spans the intersection of cybersecurity, embedded systems, hardware reliability, and edge computing, with a particular focus on building secure, resilient, and scalable solutions for modern cyber-physical and IoT systems.

My research explores topics such as:

• Cyber-physical systems and embedded security

• Hardware and microarchitecture vulnerabilities

• Fault injection, reliability analysis, and system emulation

• AI/ML for cybersecurity and intrusion detection

• Edge devices, microcontrollers, and high-performance computing

• STEM and engineering education innovation
  
  

I am actively engaged in scholarly research, external funding efforts, and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students through hands-on projects, publications, and testbed development initiatives. Across this site, you will find information about my research projects, publications, teaching activities, sponsored programs, and student opportunities.
