My research explores the security, reliability, and performance of cyber-physical systems (CPS) and edge computing platforms, with a particular focus on the intersection of hardware security, embedded systems, and AI-driven cybersecurity. I lead the Cyber-Physical Systems Security Research Laboratory at Hampton University, where my students and I investigate emerging vulnerabilities in microcontrollers, single-board computers, and IoT devices—systems increasingly used in critical infrastructure, transportation, autonomous platforms, and smart environments.
My work integrates fault injection, system emulation, intrusion detection modeling, hardware–software co-analysis, and AI/ML-based defense mechanisms to build resilient and trustworthy next-generation CPS architectures.
