We create or improve technologies that allow small - and large-scale systems — from autonomous vehicles to financial markets — to recover from adverse events such as component failures, unexpected conditions or cyber attacks.

Research interests in this area include cyber resilience, risk and vulnerability modeling and analysis, model-based systems engineering, design and operational test and evaluation of systems.
