Cybersecurity

This class is the pilot of the Central Cyber-Workforce Accelerator effort, aimed at providing students with hands-on experience solving problems that matter to cybersecurity working professionals, from securing complex systems to strengthening governance and defensive practices, and they build the professional competencies and confidence that make them workforce-ready on day one.

The VIPER project is focused on developing automated methods to extract, classify, and report emerging patterns in software vulnerability data to support faster, more targeted defensive response. The project builds a vulnerability taxonomy and ingestion pipeline on Google Cloud aimed at helping our security partners gain security analysis value and enhanced analysis tooling.

Central Cyber-Workforce Accelerator. Provides hands-on Cybersecurity Studio learning for undergraduates, building a network of industry and government partnerships to accelerate cybersecurity workforce development across Connecticut. Funded through the Central Connecticut State University Clusters of Excellence program, this effort connects students with authentic experiential learning while positioning employers as active collaborators in project work and curriculum. Current partner engagements span financial services, state government, and advanced manufacturing, and AI governance.

My research with the CyberCARED project, funded by a DOE grant, focuses on enhancing the cybersecurity of cyber-physical systems (CPS) to protect power grid reliability in transmission and distribution systems. This work involves identifying vulnerabilities within the CPS attack space, developing data-driven detection tools for cyber network threats, and integrating these tools into a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbed for validation. The project also includes organizing student competitions and red team exercises to refine these tools and gather feedback for future improvements. My contributions center on identifying cyber threats to these systems and developing effective defenses against them.
