OverviewAI-generated summary

Kenneth Mordi's research focuses on cybersecurity and resilience within power systems, particularly for photovoltaic (PV) systems and smart grids. He has investigated methods for protecting grid-connected devices through embedded online security and explored multilevel cybersecurity strategies for PV systems. His work also includes the development of cyber-resilient smart inverters based on practical attack models and the creation of digital twins for power electronic devices with integrated security features.

Mordi has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for his work in this area. He served as Co-PI on an IUCRC Planning Grant for the Center for Infrastructure Security in the Era of AI (ISEAI), totaling $20,000. Additionally, he was a Co-PI on a Collaborative Research grant, "SaTC: CORE: Small: Enabling Programmable In-Network Security for an Attack-Resilient Smart Grid," which received $320,000 from the NSF.

His recent publications cover a range of topics including cyber-physical security for PV systems, cyber protection of grid-connected devices, and power grid resilience. He has also explored rapid prototyping of motor drives for aerospace applications and the capabilities of test facilities for reliable electric power transmission. Mordi has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Anna Corbitt, Justin E. Jackson, H. Alan Mantooth, and Wesley G. Schwartz, with whom he shares multiple publications.
