6 Topic 1: Software Defined Networks
How to leverage this technology for designing and managing tactical and datacenter networks? Specific topics: (1) Design of tactical networks (2) Protection of SDN networks through protocol dialecting Three ongoing theses on shipboard network design, SDN federation, and distributed firewall

7 Topic 2: Augmentation of Deep Learning with Logic Rules
How to Use logic rules to enhance performance of deep neural networks in classification & automation? Specific topics: (1) Port defense via mining AIS data: Learn normal baseline for AIS communication and ship routes (2) Acceleration of reinforcement learning: Develop a new Pong game AI leveraging physical laws

8 Topic 3: Ad Hoc Networking
How to enhance data communication involving multiple unmanned systems? A new research proposal to ONR, in collaboration with the Mechanical Engineering Department

9 Topic 4: VM Security How to leverage the hypervisor’s independent vantage point to secure files hosted on an VM even after the VM has been root-kitted (zero day attacks)?
