This $385,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program will establish a cyber training hub for cyber-physical energy systems at the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, Florida. The project aims to provide students and researchers with hands-on training and mentorship in areas such as power engineering, communication networks, data science, and cyber/hardware security. Key objectives include: (1) curating comprehensive data from a remotely-connected cyber-physical infrastructure platform to enable training and research; (2) developing user-friendly cybersecurity modules in a virtual lab to simulate cyber threats; and (3) designing and delivering cross-disciplinary curriculum, including undergraduate/graduate course modules and a certificate program. The award will also offer unique training opportunities through capstone projects and internships with relevant private and public sector partners. This project leverages USF's expertise across multiple disciplines to build a novel model for energy cyber-infrastructure resilience education.
