Daisuke MASHIMA     


I am a Principal Research Scientist at Illinois Advanced Research Center at Singapore (Illinois ARCS), formerly known as Advanced Digital Sciences Center (ADSC), and leading cyber-physical systems security research team under multiple government-funded projects. Previously, I was a member of research staff at Fujitsu Laboratories of America, working on security and privacy in smart energy systems. I was conferred the Ph.D. in Computer Science from the College of Computing, Georgia Tech in 2012. Since 2021, I am also holding the adjunct appointment (currently Adjunct Associate Professor) at National University of Singapore.
