Cybersecurity Protection for Cyber-Physical Systems Against Integrity Cyberattacks

Dr Kangkang Zhang will carry out a project to concern cybersecurity protection for cyber-physical systems against integrity cyberattacks (CSP-CPS-A-ICA) by revealing the stealthiness of integrity attacks and then developing detection and distinction methodologies and schemes from control perspectives.

This research aims to provide effective, efficient and reliable cybersecurity protections for industrial control systems (ICSs).

The project will be carried out in the Control and Power (CAP) research group, within the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), at the Imperial College London (Imperial), under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Parisini.

As a part of the project, I will carry out two 3-month secondments in the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence (KIOS CoE), at the University of Cyprus (UCY).

The expected benefits of this project are to achieve the above research aims and enable me to make a leap in my career as well as to create a close collaboration between Imperial and UCY in the cybersecurity-related research areas.
