Tehranipoor Elevated to ACM Fellow

ECE Professor and Director of the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research Dr. Mark Tehranipoor has been elevated to the rank of Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
ECE Assistant Professor Dr. Navid Asadi will be serving as the program chair for the well-regarded 2021 IEEE PAINE Conference, to be held Nov. 30–Dec. 2, hosted virtually from Washington, D.C.
ECE Assistant Professor and member of FICS Research Dr. Farimah Farahmandi has been awarded a $500K grant from DARPA for her project, “Security-Aware High-Level Synthesis (SHINE).”
Navid Asadi is partnering with the Office of Naval Research (ONR) on a system which promises secure fabrication of electronic systems.
An article recently published in the Academic Times profiled exciting new technology patented by researchers at the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research which promises a new way to detect recycled and counterfeit electronic parts. The technology created by ECE Associate Professor Domenic Forte and ECE Associate Professor Nima Maghari makes supply chains more secure, protects consumer safety and runs at almost zero cost.
FICS Research is well-known and regarded as a global leader in hardware security and systems security research. While high-powered, high-dollar research is certainly one of the main thrusts of FICS Research’s activities, there is another that garners less recognition—workforce development.
Faculty from FICS Research have announced a collaboration with DARPA and Synopsys on a program called AISS: Automated Implementation of Secure Silicon.
Dignitaries from the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) gathered virtually yesterday with the CEO and CTO of Edpative Computing, Inc. (ECI) to celebrate the kickoff of the newly-created ECI Transition Center (ECI-TC).
Dr. Fatemeh Ganji is a postdoctoral fellow at the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research. She presents “Machine Learning for Cybersecurity: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants,” Thursday, Oct. 24 at 1:00 pm, in 310 Larsen Hall.
The Army Research Office (ARO) has awarded Domenic Forte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Director of the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research Scan Lab, a $1 million grant to study ways and means of securing electronic hardware systems.
