Research Labs
The cornerstone for cybersecurity and privacy research in SCP starts in our labs. Our work tackles cutting-edge cybersecurity and privacy challenges across technical and societal domains. Its research is highly interdisciplinary, drawing faculty and students from computing, engineering, public policy, law, and related areas. The unifying theme is developing foundational and practical solutions that make systems more secure, more private, and more trustworthy.
BEES Lab
The BEES Lab is a computer security research group at Georgia Tech, working on better empirically established security. They take a data-driven approach to understanding how security and privacy concerns manifest in practice, and use the insights gained to drive improvements in real-world security. Their research studies how users, security operators, and attackers behave in various security and privacy sensitive contexts, often relying on techniques such as Internet-wide measurements, network traffic analysis, user studies and experiments, and large-scale data mining.
CPSec Lab
The Cyber-Physical Security Lab resides at Georgia Tech in the Schools of Cybersecurity and Privacy (SCP) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), our research lab develops theory and tools to aid the construction of provably dependable and secure cyber-physical systems (CPS). In a typical CPS platform, distributed embedded computers monitor the physical processes and, at the same time, control them, usually with feedback loops in which physical processes affect computations and vice versa.
CyFI Lab
The Cyber Forensics Innovation Laboratory is made up of a team of researchers who work together to further the investigation of advanced cyber crimes and the analysis and prevention of next-generation malware attacks. The lab's work ranges from research in cyber forensics and computer system security to key applications in the vetting of untrusted/malicious software and the protection of critical cyber-infrastructure. Underpinning this research is the development of fundamental techniques for binary software analysis and instrumentation, modeling and collection of cyber-forensic evidence, and integrated multi-layer system defenses.
Hardware Security Lab
Research in secure hardware design, microarchitectural side-channel attacks, and applied cryptography, at Georgia Institute of Technology.
SSLab
The Systems Software & Security Lab builds practical systems with focuses on security, performance, robustness, or often just for fun. Their research projects have been published in top academic conferences, and have made great impacts on real programs, such as Firefox, Android, and the Linux kernel, that you might be using every day.
Trustworthy Robotics Lab
The Trustworthy Robotics Lab at Georgia Tech, directed by Glen Chou, designs principled algorithms that can enable general-purpose robots and autonomous systems to operate capably, safely, and securely with humans, while remaining resilient to real-world failures and uncertainty.
To achieve this, researchers leverage control and machine learning, while connecting to optimization, perception, formal methods, planning, human-robot interaction, and statistics. We're interested in broad applications of autonomy, including robotic manipulation, vision-based navigation, aerospace, and large-scale cyber-physical systems more generally.
