Biography
My name is Tapadhir, and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Director of Dependability And Security Laboratory at the University of the Pacific. My primary research focuses on protecting cyber-physical systems like intelligent vehicles and smart grid infrastructures from cyber attacks, and developing resilient and trustworthy AI frameworks. I am a Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Outside of my academic duties, I enjoy being active outdoors and also finding new places to have coffee and boba in town. Sports are also a big part of my life and you would occasionally find me in front of the television rooting for the Patriots, Lakers, and Chelsea FC.
