Overview
The approach will combine recent results in ML with control theory via constrained optimization to create novel systems and methods for protecting CPS from malicious cyber intruders via detection and prevention strategies.
Key Facts
Specifically, the research Resilient Models for Attacks Detection in Cyber-Physical Systems (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) focuses on:
- Refining the offline/online training and execution algorithms of ML models through physics-based constrained optimization,
- Developing secure estimation and control algorithms that are significantly more resilient to cyber-attacks than the state-of-the-art counterparts,
- Improving the distributed resiliency for networked systems supporting multi-agent autonomous systems.

- The student will be expected to learn about existing solutions, as well as the challenges and requirements to applying such techniques in their settings.
- With guidance of other team members, the student will then find new solutions for improving algorithmic resiliency in order to reduce cyber-risks related to the CPS operation.
- Candidates should be motivated to work on research-oriented problems with a team and develop new solutions.
- They should have a strong background in controls, in particular with regards to machine learning and power systems. T
- hey are also expected to be proficient in MATLAB/Simulink.
