ABSTRACT
Cyberattacks targeting nuclear facilities have significantly increased in recent years. For instance, the Stuxnet worm caused significant damage to the centrifuge operations in a nuclear facility by changing the converter frequency from 2Hz to 1410 Hz. Similar attacks also happened on the industrial control systems controlling water storage tanks in Texas and power grids in Ukraine, leading to sever service disruptions. In this talk, I will first highlight the threat surfaces and attack landscape of nuclear facilities. I will then present formal security analysis techniques and runtime verification mechanisms to detect such sophisticated threats and protect these critical infrastructures.

CSE Summer Camp - Digital Dreamers: Girls that Bridge Virtual and Physical Worlds
Westgate
9am - 3pm
Welcome to CSE Summer camp for Girls, an exciting and immersive program designed to inspire and empower young women in the field of computer science and electrical engineering. The camp offers a unique opportunity to explore the cutting-edge world of digital twins, where technologies like extended reality (XR) are used to seamlessly connect virtual and physical worlds. Participants will be introduced to the fascinating concepts of digital twin , virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). One of the highlights of the camp is the exploration of digital twin applications in the domain of smart grids, where campers will learn how XR can be used to create virtual replicas of physical systems for monitoring and optimization.

TBD
This five day camp, tailored for girls, will give campers an opportunity to experience and explore the exciting world behind our modern, technological society. They will learn about the electronics and signals that surround us every day, get the chance to interact and work with female electrical engineers and students, and be introduced to the hands-on, Do-it-yourself (DIY) culture. Campers will, first and foremost, become Makers! The camp will be tiered, with plenty to explore for both first-timers as well as advanced or returning students.
