A growing set of national security concerns regarding critical energy infrastructure pose significant risk to grid operators, owners and investors. Responsive cybersecurity, or more broadly, digital system flexibility in the face of malign influence, is critical to the prevention of large-scale system failure, particularly with respect to high-consequence and exquisite (i.e., sophisticated, expensive, custom, high-performance) energy systems.

Emerging hardware, like FPGAs, is shaping the future of heterogeneous computing; however, the use of such extraordinary computing power is restricted to a few software developers with hardware expertise.

Machine learning provides powerful tools for data analytics while security and privacy attacks increasingly involve data. Therefore, machine learning naturally intersects with security and privacy.

WSU AIAS (American Institute for Architecture Students) will be hosting a Portfolio Review Week from February 07-11 that will consist of 45min reviews with practitioners. All SDC students are welcome to register and participate in the review! Deadline to register is January 28th. If you have any questions, please email j.hernandez-avante@wsu.edu or jovannie.laforga@wsu.edu. We hope to see you there!

Abstract
Nowadays, the security community is facing challenges from not only lone individuals, but also organizations with strategic agendas, which have caused enormous loss in social welfare, national security, and global economy. To overcome the challenges, this talk focus on securing ubiquitous systems and protect end users from cyber attacks through enhanced security mechanisms with intelligent defense strategies.

Speaker: Bryson Bort, SCYTHE and ICS Village

Abstract: So, you’re not crazy, you just want to start your own company. Which kind of takes a level of crazy to pull it off. We’ll talk through what it takes to be an entrepreneur, different kinds of companies…

In high-performance computing (HPC), scientific codes have been evolving continuously. Moving from numerical simulations and analyses to AI/ML-based applications, scientific codes execute on larger computational scales and issue massive data movements periodically for network communication and I/O at application runtime.

Tesla is actively looking for Summer through Fall and Fall through Spring co-ops with hundreds of opportunities posed on Handshake and our career page. Extended co-ops are a priority focus for the H+CE teams, so looking to build a stronger pipeline with co-op strongholds in the US + Canada. They will be hosting some professional development sessions (compared to individual school events) to provide pointers on the application and consideration process in the core of spring recruiting season.

Abstract In today’s society, programs and systems exist in every corner of our lives, from smart portable devices and appliances to vehicles and computing devices. Despite the fact that high-tech offers enormous conveniences and opportunities, it is also a platform for criminals to launch illicit attacks. Therefore, developers try…

High-performance computing systems have seen tremendous growth in theoretical performance with the inclusion of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and other accelerators. The difficulty and complexity of programming these systems has grown alongside the performance as programmers are required to manage separate programming models and device memories for accelerators alongside traditional CPU resources.

WSU’s School of the Environment (SoE) will host the Lane Family Lecture in Environmental Science: public presentation by leading environmental justice activist Catherine Coleman Flowers.

WSU experts in diverse fields, ranging from environmental science to sociology, economics, biosystems engineering and community building, will discuss links between their work and environmental justice issues during a free, public event hosted by the School of the Environment online and in person.

The rapid development of self-driving technologies makes it imperative to characterize and model the behaviors of mixed autonomy traffic. The problem is especially important, yet more challenging, when automated vehicles are self-interested, instead of being centrally controlled or coordinated.

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command is moving forward in planning two lunchtime presentations to interested engineering students regarding the Command’s mission here in the Northwest and role engineers play in the success of the command which support the U.S. Navy’s facilities infrastructure.
