Research Topic: Sensor Data Artificial Intelligence and Zero-Trust Data Fabric
Ph.D. research assistantship, postdoc and student visitor position are available in the research area of sensor data artificial intelligence (including advanced signal processing, machine learning and deep learning) and zero-trust data fabric designs. The selected candidate will join us to create innovative sensor data analytics methodologies and zero-trust data fabric designs for health and security monitoring applications. The lab currently focuses on three research topics: (1) cyber-physical security and health monitoring of electrical machines and networks; (2) health and activity monitoring of human and animal via contactless sensing. (3) decentralized zero-trust IoT data fabric based on web 3.0.
About the lab and faculty advisor:
The sensorweb lab focuses on intelligent sensing, computing, networking and security technologies, with clear vision on “Connecting the Dots for Intelligence”. The lab currently has 6 PhD and 2 MS students, and its faculty advisor Dr. WenZhan Song is the Endowed Chair Professor of Computer Engineering and Founding Director of Center for Cyber-Physical Systems. He is a leading expert on IoT/CPS sensor analytics & security and received numerous important honors and awards, including NSF CAREER award 2010, Mark Weiser Best Paper Award 2020, and multiple Research Excellence awards. He works closely with government and industry partners on technology innovation and commercialization.
