Current Projects

Catalyst OU: A Pilot for an LLM-Powered Researcher Collaboration Network
This project will develop and evaluate “Catalyst OU,” a pilot system designed to foster research collaboration at the University of Oklahoma by leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify potential research synergies. This pilot aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using LLMs for sophisticated researcher profiling and research interest matching, which will lay the groundwork for a university-wide collaboration discovery platform.

Trustworthy AI for Critical Infrastructure
This project focuses on developing robust and explainable machine learning models to detect and mitigate cyber-attacks against power grids and water distribution systems. We are exploring novel federated learning techniques to ensure data privacy.

Scalable Blockchain for IoT Security
We are designing a lightweight, scalable blockchain framework to secure communications and data integrity for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) networks, addressing challenges in consensus algorithms and resource-constrained devices.
