Welcome to Website of Vishnu Vardhan Bathalapalli
Vishnu is a Doctoral Student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) under Dr. Saraju P. Mohanty in the Smart Electronic Systems Laboratory (SESL) at the University of North Texas (UNT); a Tier-One (R1) Research University in the USA as per Carnegie Classification.
Academic Background: Vishnu holds a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) from Sri Venkateswara University (Sri Venkateswara University College of Engineering), Tirupati, India. This solid foundation in electronics and communication engineering serves as the bedrock for his current research endeavors.
Research Focus: Vishnu's research area is firmly rooted in the domain of "Security-by-Design in Smart Electronics." This is a critical area of study in today's digital age, where smart electronic systems are omnipresent, and ensuring their security is paramount. His research can be grouped into the following inter-related thrusts:
Security-by-Design (SbD) for IoT or CPS, which involves building security into the design of the system from the beginning, rather than trying to add it on later. This is important for IoT and CPS systems, which are often complex and have many interconnected components.
PUF-Enabled Blockchain for Secure Healthcare CPS, which is a method of using physical unclonable functions (PUFs) and blockchain to create a more secure healthcare CPS. PUFs are unique identifiers that can be used to authenticate devices and data, while blockchain provides a secure and tamper-proof way to store data.
Hardware Security Primitives: One of Vishnu's primary areas of focus is on hardware security primitives, particularly Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) and Trusted Platform Modules (TPM). These hardware-level security measures play a pivotal role in fortifying the cybersecurity of cyber-physical systems (CPS).
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT): In addition to hardware security, Vishnu is deeply involved in exploring the applications of blockchain technology, IOTA Tangle, and other Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) for providing hardware-assisted DLT-based cybersecurity solutions. This cutting-edge research is at the forefront of innovation in the field of cybersecurity.
Quantum Computing Enabled Security for IoT, which is a new area of research that explores how quantum computing can be used to improve the security of IoT systems. Quantum computers are much faster than traditional computers and could be used to break current encryption algorithms. However, they could also be used to develop new, more secure encryption algorithms.
