2014 NSF Cyber-Physical Systems Principal Investigators’ Meeting Education & Diversity Panel Tamara Bonaci Ph.D. Candidate Department of Electrical Engineering University of Washington About Tamara • Ph.D. candidate at the University of Washington, Department of Electrical Engineering • Member of the UW BioRobotics Lab • Member of the UW Tech Policy Lab • Student member of the NSF Engineering Research Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering • B.Sc. in EE from the University of Zagreb, Croatia • M.Sc. in EE from the University of Washington • Ph.D. in EE from UW – expected in 2015 Tamara Bonaci – 2014 NSF CPS PI Meeting November 6-7, 2014 Research Interests: Security and Privacy of CyberPhysical Systems with Humans in the Loop Secure Telerobotics Project goal: methods and tools to enhance security, privacy and safety of telerobotic systems Expected results: • • • Threat prevention mechanisms Monitoring and detection tools Correction methods for errors caused by random failures and malicious actions Privacy and Security by Design in BCIs Project goal: algorithms and mechanisms to enhance privacy of BCIs Research Steps: 1. Identification of Possible Brain Malware 2. Theoretical Analysis of Privacy Threats • • Impact metrics Exposure metrics 3. Experimental Analysis 4. Development of the BCI Anonymizer Tamara Bonaci – 2014 NSF CPS PI Meeting November 6-7, 2014 The Most Important Observations 1. Be nice 2. Play nice 3. Respect differences Tamara Bonaci – 2014 NSF CPS PI Meeting November 6-7, 2014 Observation 1: Be Nice • Encouragement and positive feedback are significantly more effective than negative feedback and criticism. • The drive to do more, better and faster in the academic setting has to come from within. Tamara Bonaci – 2014 NSF CPS PI Meeting November 6-7, 2014 Observation 2: Play Nice Competition may seem like an effective way to improve productivity. But collaboration moves mountains. Tamara Bonaci – 2014 NSF CPS PI Meeting November 6-7, 2014 Observation 3: Respect Differences Different personal drives + Different personal experiences = Different and unique approaches Successful solutions to hard problems Tamara Bonaci – 2014 NSF CPS PI Meeting November 6-7, 2014 Acknowledgement Thank you to my mentor, my advisors, colleagues, collaborators: Professors: • • • • Howard Jay Chizeck, UW Department of Electrical Engineering Ryan Calo, UW School of Law Tadayoshi Kohno, UW Department of Computer Science and Engineering Blake Hannaford, UW Department of Electrical Engineering Graduate students: • • • • • UW Department of Electrical Engineering: Nava Aghdasi, Jeffrey Herron, Junjie Yan UW Department of Bioengineering: Tyler Libey, Brian Mogen UW Infromation School: Aaron Alva UW School of Law: Patrick Moore UW Department of Philosophy: Timothy Brown Undergraduate students: • UW EE: Nguyen Le my Chau, Fethya Mohamed Ibrahim, Xiyu Ouyang • UW CSE: Tariq Yusuf Members of the UW BioRobotics Lab, Tech Policy Lab and Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering Secure Telerobotics project is funded by the National Science Foundation NSF, Grant 1329751.
