          •   Smart grid and IoT/CPS security
          •   Information retrieval, Web and online social networks

We are looking for self-motivated students who are interested in academic research on information security. If you are interested in this opportunity or if you have questions, please drop me an email: bluo <at> ku <dot> edu.
