About the Lab
The iSTAR Lab works on keeping critical systems secure and dependable, from power grids and wireless networks to 911 communications. We also study how AI can be trusted when it’s used in these systems.
Led by Dr. Eman Hammad, the lab brings undergraduate and graduate students together to work on real research problems.
