- Description: TOPIC: WIRELESS HEALTH INDICATOR PATCH FOR PATIENT EDUCATION
AND DIAGNOSTICS (WHIPPED): AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM APPROACH TO PATIENT SELF-CARE
LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room
Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is a complex malady caused by numerous disorders of the heart and body resulting in a decreased quality of life. Care for current cardiac patients, post-hospitalization, is not uniform often resulting in relapses and early death. Despite the emergence of numerous therapeutic innovations, prolonging life and shorten hospital stays, CHF patients often have poor prognosis. Monitoring and involving the patient in self-care has been shown to improve upon the prognosis. We propose a new and novel system for cardiac heart failure patient's self-care. This system will collect both physiologic and psychosocial data from the patient using a combination of a custom sensor suite and a smartphone. An exploratory trial evaluates the effectiveness of such an approach.

- Description: Topic: Securing Wireless Communications of Connected Vehicles with Artificial Intelligence
Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A
Abstract:
Self-driving cars is an autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling all the essential pre-requisite which are needed to drive a car by a human. By 2020, Self-Driving cars are aiming to make human permanent back seat driver. From 2009, when the concept of self-driving cars came into existence till now in 2016, there is a huge growth and advancement in this field. Big firms that are living the dream of making self-driving car no longer science fiction are working on making it a reality and testing them in the real world scenarios. Google, Tesla, Uber, BMW, Apple and many other companies along with their team are in race of developing self-driving car and investing more than $100 million for this project. Various testbed experiments had already been performed in labs and on road to check the vulnerability of self-driving cars. These systems, through the use of computers, infrastructures, and other devices, aim at insuring safe distances, and controlling the routing of vehicles. However, little attention is paid when it comes to safety and security issues with the vehicles driven by computers without human interference. Falsification of meter readings, disablement of brake function, and other unauthorized controls by spoofed messages injected into the communication network for Self-driving Vehicles emerge as security threats. The countermeasures must be considered at the design stage, as opposed to afterthought patches, effectively against cyber hackings. Current standards oversubscribe security measures by validating every message circulating in the vehicular network, making it subject to Denial-of-Service Attacks when an adversary easily launches massive bogus messages to hog the system. This research project aims at developing a technique where wireless communication among the connected vehicle is secured using artificial intelligence, thereby enhancing the safety.

Master of Science Project Defense By: Sameer Bharadwaj Kencham
- Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
- Cost: Free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: Topic: Extracting Network Models from Graphical Information System (GIS) Data
Location: College of Engineering Conference Room, Textile's Building - Room 101E
ABSTRACT:
The Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) website provides geospatial data within the open public domain that can be useful to support community preparedness, resiliency, research, and more. This project employed the ArcGIS graphical information system software to transform cellular tower data into a format suitable for conducting network reliability analysis. This report describes the steps required to perform the transformation. Future work can generalize these methods to other datasets provided on the HIFLD website.
