Areas of Research Interests/ Research Projects

Dr. Li Jianghai's research interests are in the areas of computer security (CS) and artificial intelligence (AI) of nuclear power plants (NPPs). The CS part includes risk assessment, threat modelling, anomaly detection, and incident response of NPPs. The AI part includes AI techniques for computer security of nuclear I&C systems, and the risk of nuclear systems powered by AI.
