Job Purpose

We are looking for a Research Associate in the area of OT and IT Cybersecuity and Machine Learning to join our one-year internal funding. The project title is "Cyberthreat Mitigations for OT and IT Environments in the National Critical Infrastructure Sectors” and supervised by the primary investigator, Dr. Chan Yeob Yeun. This project requires designing, developing today’s nuclear cybersecurity program needs to be inclusive—that is, builds in all the regulatory, human/organizational, and technical elements—for a strong, multi-layered defense. This mission can be reflected in NCI-CyberRange.

Also, the use of multimodality signal data for personal identification and internal threat detection of the NCI Internet of Things can achieve near-perfect accuracy in an ideal condition. However, real-life galvanic skin response, facial expression, EEG and ECG data are often exposed to various types of noises and interferences. A reliable and enhanced identification method could be achieved by employing additional features from other biometric sources. This project, thus, proposes a novel robust and reliable identification technique grounded on multimodal biometrics, which utilizes deep learning to combine fingerprint, ECG and facial image data, particularly useful for identification and detection of intruders.
