Abstract: As cyber-physical systems become prevalent combining communications, computing, and engineering systems, there is an increasing need for protecting them against malicious adversaries. Deep learning methods are expected to play a significant role in detecting and countering malicious attacks, especially in wireless networking and Software-Defined Radio (SDR) networks. However, these powerful algorithms can be targeted by advanced adversaries, leading to the emergence of “adversarial machine learning” as a research field. This talk will present an overview of our group’s latest research results on wireless network security and adversarial machine learning. Recent results on distributed machine learning and robust deep learning in the context of cybersecurity and anomaly detection will be presented. The talk will also contain a brief discussion on our ongoing game-theoretic work.
Bio: Tansu Alpcan received a PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2006. His research interests include the game, optimisation, control theories, and machine learning applications to security and resource allocation problems in communications, smart grids, and the Internet of Things. He chaired or was an Associate Editor, TPC chair, or TPC member of several prestigious IEEE workshops, conferences, and journals. Tansu Alpcan is the (co-)author of more than 150 journal and conference articles as well as the book “Network Security: A Decision and Game-Theoretic Approach” published by Cambridge University Press (CUP) in 2011. He co-edited the book “Mechanisms and Games for Dynamic Spectrum Allocation” published by CUP in 2014. He has worked as a senior research scientist in Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Berlin, Germany (2006-2009), and as an Assistant Professor (Juniorprofessur) at Technical University Berlin (2009-2011). Tansu is currently a Professor and Reader with the Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Melbourne.
