This $286,453 National Science Foundation project grant through the Integrative Activities program aims to enhance the reliability of medical cyber-physical systems under intentional electromagnetic interference attacks. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette will conduct research from January 2023 through December 2024 to advance methodologies for ensuring real-time reliability of medical devices with analog sensors, such as glucose monitors.

Key activities include creating hardware to limit injected errors within tolerable ranges using dummy circuits to identify interference signals. Researchers will also improve understanding of redundant sensor circuits' defenses against intentional electromagnetic injection attacks. A physics-informed neural network framework will diagnose corrupted sensor data caused by attacks by solving equations and predicting sensor values to correct distortions. Outcomes seek to enhance design of secure, reliable systems with imperfect medical sensors. The award supports an assistant professor fellowship and graduate student training.
