News Release

Inspirit IoT, a startup company founded by researchers from the Advanced Digital Sciences Center (ADSC)and the University of Illinois, recently secured late-seed funding from Senscape Technologies, another startup company founded by an ADSC alumnus.

The University of Illinois has received funding for a new research program in Singapore – the CREATE Programme for a Trustworthy and Secure Cyber-Plexus (TSCP). The new initiative will work to make information systems both trustworthy, meaning it behaves as expected even during disruptions, and secure, or hardened against malicious attacks.

ADSC recently received a grant to develop an integrated safety-security engineering approach and best-practice guideline for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in Singapore.

ADSC researchers received the best paper award at the 2017 International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) for their work on securing the power grid using natural timestamps in the power grid’s frequency fluctuations sensed from the powerline electromagnetic radiation (EMR).

William H Sanders, an award-winning educator and researcher who heads nationally ranked engineering programs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has been named interim director of the Discovery Partners Institute (DPI), a new world-class innovation center led by the U of I System, President Tim Killeen announced today.

ECE ILLINOIS Department Head and ADSC researcher William H. Sanders, Donald Biggar Willett Professor of Engineering, testified before the 115th United States Congress on Tuesday, October 3, 2017.
