Speaker: Abdollah Kavousifard
The threat of cyberattacks have motivated researchers to use Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to detect malicious activity and ensure the preservation of privacy and security. Within the smart grid and smart city concepts, AI techniques can be used to identify transactions that are likely to be fraudulent or compromised, as well as automate manually intensive data management tasks. My recent research activities involve applications of AI in electric grids to transportation systems, smart city, microgrids, electric vehicles, electric arc furnaces, industrial control systems (IDSs), renewable energy sources, and energy hubs. My talk will familiarize students with my research interests in the areas of advanced AI, cyber security, IDSs, and big data mining to facilitate possible future research collaborations.
