On Sunday, November 19th I had the opportunity to be an invited speaker at the TeenTech NY conference! Hosted at the Microsoft Center in New York City, the goal of TeenTech NY is to create an interactive tech community that connects students to professionals in Industr and Academia to expose them to all the possibilities in tech. My workshop, “Parallel Computing on the Raspberry Pi”, was designed to introduce high school and early college students to parallel computing usin ga Raspberry Pi single board computer.

Since 2014, I have been one of the advisors of an interdiscplinary capstone team that works on building out an emulated power grid. Our goal is to try and publish with the students every year, but this is the first year that a student-led paper won Best Paper!
My student, Spencer Drakontaidis presented the paper “Investigating a Raspberry Pi Cluster for Detecting Anomalies in the Smart Grid”, at the IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference (URTC'17).

Yay! The paper that Dr. Aaron St. Leger and I wrote entitled, “Leveraging Single Board Computers for Anomaly Detection in the Smart Grid” won the Best Paper Award in the Information Security track at the at the 8th IEEE Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics & Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON’17) . Dr. St. Leger and I have been working together since 2014, and this paper shows the application of a single board computer (specifically, the Raspberry Pi) for real-time anomaly detection of synchrophasor data, and proposes a distributed architecture for detecting anomalous behavior in Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS) for the smart grid.

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted! It’s another summer and I am creating yet another cluster. One thing people may not know is back in the summer of 2014 as I anxiously waited for the release of the Parallella I was originally going to use Raspberry Pis in my parallel computing course. Of course the Parallella came out, and so I put my Pis back on the shelf and concentrated on the Parallella for the course.

So, somehow I accidentally ended up playing a part in the Honorable Eric Fanning’s (22nd SECARMY) Army Navy Spirit Video! Watch it here
This was super fun to participate in, and I really am awed by the amazing team of cadets I had the opportunity to interact with during the filming. They were fantastic actors!
Update: Holy cow, we won!! Go Army football, and thank you SECARMY for lifting the GridIron directive!
