Robert Cunningham is the Vice Chancellor for Research Infrastructure at the University of Pittsburgh, and an adjunct professor of cybersecurity in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Rob started his career in industry, designing and developing a parallel and distributed operating system for a weather radar system. After completing his master’s degree, he joined the Machine Intelligence Group at Lincoln Laboratory, where his research focused on machine learning applied to seismic analysis, digital image processing, and image and video understanding. He became curious about securing sensors, data, and systems, which led him to use machine learning to develop intrusion detection systems, and subsequently to protections against remote and local
