COMMITTEE CHAIR: Dr. Suxia Cui TITLE: ADVANCING THE HARDWARE REALIZATION OF SWINIR FUNCTIONS ABSTRACT: Image enhancement is a key area in image processing that aims to improve visual quality for interpretation, analysis, and decision-making. SWINIR (Shifted Window Image Restoration) is the current best performing deep learning model for increasing the resolution of images; however, mapping [...]

COMMITTEE CHAIR: Dr. Annamalai Annamalai TITLE: STRENGTHENING SMART GRID CYBER-PHYSICAL RESILIENCE THROUGH COMMUNICATION-PROTOCOL BASED DOS DETECTION AND PREDICTIVE MITIGATION ABSTRACT: This dissertation investigates the impact of communication-protocol-based Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks on smart-grid cyber–physical stability through a comparative evaluation of Secure Shell (SSH) and Telnet protocols. A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experimental platform was developed, featuring a multi-bus [...]

COMMITTEE CHAIR: Dr. Cajetan Akujuobi TITLE: EDGE-NATIVE MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM FOR LATENCY-CRITICAL ANOMALY DETECTION AND QOS OPTIMIZATION IN 6G SMART MANUFACTURING ABSTRACT: The increasing reliance on wireless connectivity in smart manufacturing places stringent demands on network latency, reliability, and adaptability that exceed the capabilities of static or threshold-based quality-of-service (QoS) control mechanisms. While 5G standalone networks [...]
