Dr. Vishnu Bathalapalli earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of North Texas, where he conducted research in the Smart Electronic Systems Laboratory (SESL) under the supervision of Dr. Saraju P. Mohanty. He received his B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, India.

His research focuses on advancing Security-by-Design (SbD) methodologies to ensure robust protection of data, devices, and systems in Healthcare and Energy Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). His work emphasizes proactive security mechanisms that address vulnerabilities during the design phase through hardware-assisted security primitives, including Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs), Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), Quantum PUFs (QPUFs), and blockchain-enabled trust architectures.

 A significant component of his research centers on Quantum Security-by-Design (QSbD), where he develops Quantum-hardware-rooted security solutions to enhance the trustworthiness, resilience, and sustainability of emerging Quantum Internet-of-Things (QIoT) ecosystems. His broader research interests include hardware security, quantum hardware security, cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT), and trustworthy cyber-physical systems.

 Dr. Bathalapalli has authored more than 16 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications, including articles in leading venues such as the IEEE Internet of Things Journal, and his work has received over 290 citations.
