SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Shetty is the Executive Director of the Center for Secure and Intelligent Critical Systems (CSICS) housed at the Virginia Modeling, Analysis & Simulation Center (VMASC). He received his Ph.D. in Modeling and Simulation from Old Dominion University in 2007. Prior to joining Old Dominion University, he was an Associate Professor with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Tennessee State University. He also holds a dual appointment as an Engineer (Secret Clearance) at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Indiana. He has published over 125 research articles in journals and conference proceedings and two books. He has received over $10 million in funding from Air Office of Scientific Research, Air Force Research Lab, Boeing, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Energy, National Science Foundation, and Office of Naval Research.

Dr. Shetty's expertise lies in modeling and analysis of threats to protect next generation Internet, cloud, mobile systems and critical infrastructures. His cyber security research journey started with developing stochastic models to detect unauthorized base stations and malicious unlicensed users in cognitive radio networks. With the advent of cloud computing environment, he developed cloud auditing models to quantify security risk of outsourced data and several moving target defense techniques to protect virtual machines. He also developed data provenance models using blockchain which provides chain-of-custody and transparency. He is currently developing cyber risk and resilience metrics which will provide a quantitative insight into cyber security posture for IT/OT organizations and provides a systematic methodology to manage cyber risk and resilience in IT/OT sectors.
