Dr. Ruchkin Receives NSF CAREER Award to Make Cyber-Physical Systems Aware of Their Limitations

March 25, 2025

As work on improving cyber-physical systems (CPS) barrels ahead, Ivan Ruchkin, Ph.D., has some concerns. Loosely defined as mechanisms controlled and monitored by computer algorithms, CPS have some basic susceptibilities—rare events and unexpected circumstances can cause the system to react in unsafe or incorrect ways. Thanks to funding from the National Science Foundation—$600k over five […]
