Control and Game Theoretic Methods for Cyber-Physical Security

Aris Kanellopoulos received his diploma equivalent to a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, in 2017. He studied at the Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech and was awarded a PhD in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In 2022 he was a Research Engineer within Professor Kyriakos G. Vamvoudakis' group. He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Division of Information Science and Engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden.

Lijing Zhai received her MS in Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics from Beihang University, Beijing, China, in 2018. She is currently working toward a PhD degree at the Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA. Her current research interests include cyber-physical security, optimal and learning-based control.

Filippos Fotiadis was born in Thessaloniki, Greece. He received the Diploma (joint B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2018. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he also obtained the M.Sc. degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2022, and the M.Sc. degree in Mathematics in 2023. His research interests include optimal and learning-based control, game theory, and their applications to cyber–physical security, as well as prescribed performance control.

Kyriakos G. Vamvoudakis is the Dutton-Ducoffe Endowed Professor at The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech. He holds a secondary appointment in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His expertise is in reinforcement learning, control theory, game theory, cyber-physical security, bounded rationality, and safe/assured autonomy.He has served on various international program committees and has organized several international conferences.
