Saman also directs the Cyber-Physical Security Laboratory (CPSec) which recently hosted a U.S. Congressional visit to demonstrate its research outcomes. His research (supported by over $120M collaboratively) focuses on security and privacy research problems in cyber-physical systems and critical infrastructures including attack detection and response capabilities using techniques from systems security, control theory and artificial intelligence. His research has been awarded by the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) by the United States President and The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Significant Research in Cyber Security by the National Security Agency (NSA), Faculty Fellowship Award by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Google Hall of Fame Security Award, Provost Research Award, Outstanding Faculty Research Award by the Georgia Tech College of Computing, and Cybersecurity Fellowship by the Georgia Tech College of Engineering. His research group has disclosed several critical zero-day security vulnerabilities with published CVEs in widely used commercial industrial controllers. Saman is currently a Co-PI on President Biden’s American Rescue Plan $65M Georgia AI Manufacturing (GA-AIM) project. Saman was invited to co-chair the NSF CPS PI Meeting as well as the NSF CPS Next Big Challenges Workshop. Saman has received two Georgia Tech Teaching Awards for his courses “Critical Infrastructure Security” and “Cybersecurity of Drones”. Saman has served as the Chair and/or Program Committee member for top conferences (e.g., IEEE S&P, USENIX, CCS, NDSS, DSN, and ICCPS).
