Cyber-Security in Critical Infrastructures / Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications (PDF)

infrastructure protection. Currently, his main research activities focus on novel approaches for risk management and risk assessment using methodologies from the field of game theory. Stefan Schauer has taken his research into practice in the course of several national and international research projects, where the theoretical concepts are evaluated together with critical infrastructure operators and other end users. Further, he coordinated the EU FP7 project "HyRiM - Hybrid Risk Management for Utility Networks", in which a novel risk management approach for utility providers was developed. He is currently involved in the EU H2020 project SAURON, where he looks at methodologies to implement a hybrid situational awareness solution for maritime port infrastructures.



Sandra König is a researcher in the Centre for Digital Safety & Security and the Centre for Dependable Systems Engineering at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT). She received her BSc and MSc degree in mathematics with a focus on Statistics at ETH Zurich and her PhD with distinction in Mathematics at Alpen-Adria University Klagenfurt in 2013. Her research interests range from stochastics, statistics and machine learning to automata and game theory. ln several national and international projects, she developed risk models for interdependent networks, such as critical infrastructures, and methods to estimate cascading effects therein. She is a regular contributor to international conferences that focus on security of critical infrastructures, logistics, simulation, and game theory. ln 2019, she received a best paper award at Computing Conference in London. Beyond research, she is a lecturer for mathematics at the university of applied science in Krems, Austria.



Quanyan Zhu received B. Eng. in Honors Electrical Engineering from McGill University in 2006, M. A. Sc. from the University of Toronto in 2008, and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign(UIUC) in 2013. After stints at Princeton University, he is currently an associate professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, New York University (NYU). He is an affiliated faculty member of the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) at NYU. He is a recipient of many awards, including NSF CAREER Award, NYU Goddard Junior Faculty Fellowship, NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship (PDF), NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS), and Mavis Future Faculty Fellowships. He spearheaded and chaired INFOCOM Workshop on Communications and Control on Smart Energy Systems (CCSES), Midwest Workshop on Control and Game Theory (WCGT), and ICRA workshop on Security and Privacy of Robotics. His current research interests include game theory, machine learning, cyber deception, network optimization and control, Internet of Things, and cyber-physical systems. He has served as the general chair or TPC chair of the 7th Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security (GameSec) in 2016, the 9th International Conference on NETwork Games, COntrol and OPtimisation (NETGCOOP) in 2018, the 5th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Security (ICAIS 2019) in 2019, and 2020 IEEE Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS). His current research is supported by NSF, DoD, DOE, DHS, DOT, and DARPA.
