Ravishankar Iyer

Ravishankar Iyer is a Professor at the University of Illinois, previously affiliated with the CREDC project as a researcher focusing on cybersecurity for critical energy infrastructure systems.

His research encompasses:

• Cybersecurity for Power Grids
• Smart Grid Security Architectures
• Cyber-physical Attack Mitigation
• Network Communication Randomization
• Electricity Theft Detection Frameworks
• Safety-critical System Analysis

As a CREDC alumnus, he contributed to high-impact projects including RAINCOAT (Randomize Network Communication in Power Grid Cyber Infrastructure to Mislead Cyber Attackers), which enhances grid resilience through deceptive network tactics, and F-DETA (Framework for Detecting Electricity Theft Attacks in Smart Grids), addressing fraud in modern energy distribution systems. His work consistently targets the detection and mitigation of safety-critical cyber-physical attacks within energy delivery infrastructure.
