Overall Project Details

Title of the Project Secure Linear Network Structure Design

Project Keywords linear network, state detection, structural properties

Are you currently looking for research assistants? No

Number of Research Assistants Needed 1

Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering

Project Location: The location is flexible, we can discuss on Zoom or on Engineering campus, or occasionally on FSU main campus

If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? No, the project is remote

Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): Fully Remote

Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work? 6

Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)

Overall Research Project Description A linear network is a network representation of a linear dynamical system. It may consist of input nodes, state nodes, and output nodes. Certain structural properties of the network can guide the design of secure networks, in which any faulty state node can be detected via the output nodes. The objective is to propose guidelines for designing a secure linear network structure.

Research Tasks literature review, learning control theory and graph theory, network analysis, presentation, etc

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Required: ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, basic control theory, basic graph theory

Mentoring Philosophy The students should have a good math background and are expected to work independently and plan their timelines. The advisor and students can have a short Zoom meeting biweekly to discuss progress and challenges.
