Cybersecurity for the Physical World

1. Jun Ueda receives NSF grant to research a critical gap in networked robotic systems.
2. Robotic systems are currently deployed in sectors ranging from industrial manufacturing to healthcare to agriculture, adding benefits in production times, patient outcomes, and yields. This trend towards greater automation and human robot collaborative work environments, while providing great opportunities, also highlights a critical gap in cybersecurity research. These systems rely on network communication to coordinate movement, meaning that security breaches could result in the robot acting in ways that may endanger people and property.

Using Deep Learning Techniques to Improve Liver Disease Diagnosis and Treatment 

1. Professor Jun Ueda in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and robotics Ph.D. student Heriberto Nieves, working with a team from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, have successfully applied deep learning techniques for accurate, automated quality control image assessment. The research, “Deep Learning-Enabled Automated Quality Control for Liver MR Elastography: Initial Results,” was published in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. [LINK]
