TCIPG Reading Group - Fall 2014
Overview
The purpose of the Reading Group is to fill the knowledge disconnect between computer and power engineering. Sessions combine topics relevant to cybersecurity for the power grid from both engineering disciplines - thus providing a common knowledge base to facilitate interdisciplinary research and collaboration. The Reading Group also serves as a low-pressure setting for students to present preliminary research. During meetings, students have a chance to receive feedback on their work from peers in different disciplines, which is useful for synthesizing new ideas.
