Parv Venkitasubramaniam

Parv Venkitasubramaniam is a Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Lehigh University, affiliated with the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering. Previously, he served as a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley under Prof. Venkat Anantharam. His research focuses on theoretical foundations of privacy and security in networks, leveraging statistical signal processing, information theory, and game theory. Key application areas include smart grids, transportation systems, and peer production networks.

Education includes a Ph.D. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University, and a B.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology. His doctoral work concentrated on wireless sensor networks, particularly distributed communication and statistical inference.

Research interests span privacy-utility tradeoffs, cybersecurity in control systems, and resilient network design. He explores topics like stealthy attacks on dynamical systems, privacy-aware stochastic games, and resilient energy storage systems. Recent work emphasizes transportation system resilience and cyber-physical system security.

His publications address cutting-edge challenges in anonymizing networks, detecting cyber attacks, and optimizing privacy-preserving mechanisms. Notable projects include NSF-funded research on anonymous networking and information-theoretic security frameworks.
