This virtual presentation series is designed to inform the Stony Brook University research community about the Research Funding Landscape of key topic areas. Our Strategic Research Initiatives team will provide insight into the rapidly shifting funding environment using policy briefs, budgetary priorities, and relevant legislation. We will highlight federal and state priorities in the current and upcoming years to help Stony Brook researchers develop strategies for pursuing funding in a rapidly shifting environment. This series is moderated by Mónica Bugallo, Interim Vice President for Research & Innovation.

Join us for the third in the series, focused on the artificial intelligence landscape:

CSE 600 Talk: Securing Software-Defined Networking Infrastructure by Dr. Guofei Gu

ABSTRACT: Today's network and computing infrastructure rests on inadequate  foundations. An emerging, promising new foundation for computing is software-defined infrastructure (SDI), which offers a range of  
technologies including: compute, storage and network virtualization;  novel separation of concerns at the systems level; and new approaches to system and device management. As a representative example of SDI,  
software-defined networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm that decouples the control logic from the closed and proprietary implementations of traditional network data plane infrastructure. SDN is now becoming the networking foundation for data-center/cloud, future Internet and 5G infrastructures.  

We believe that SDN is an impactful technology to drive a variety of innovations in network management and security. It is now clear that security will be a top concern, as well as a new killer app, for SDN. In this talk, I will discuss some new opportunities, as well as challenges, in this new direction and demonstrate with our recent  
research results. I will discuss how SDN can enhance network security. And I will also discuss some unique new security problems inside SDN and introduce some of our work to enhance the security of SDN. Finally, I will share my vision on programmable system security in a software-defined world.  

BIO: Dr. Guofei Gu is a professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Texas A&M University (TAMU). Before coming to Texas A&M, he received his PhD degree in Computer Science from the College  
of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interests are in network and systems security.  
Dr. Gu is a recipient of 2010 NSF CAREER Award, 2013 AFOSR Young  Investigator Award, 2010 IEEE S&P Best Student Paper Award, 2015 ICDCS Best Paper Award, Texas A&M Dean of Engineering Excellence Award,  
Presidential Impact Fellow, Charles H. Barclay Jr. '45 Faculty Fellow and the Google Faculty Research Award. He is an active member of the security research community and has pioneered several new research directions such as botnet detection/defense and SDN security. Dr. Gu has served on the program committees of top-tier security conferences such as IEEE S&P, ACM CCS, USENIX Security and NDSS. He is an ACM Distinguished Member, an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (T-IFS), and the Steering Committee co-chair for SecureComm. He is currently directing the SUCCESS Lab at TAMU.
Join librarian Christine Fena for an interactive workshop that invites you to explore AI tools firsthand, not just as users, but as critical investigators. Through playful experimentation and collaborative discovery, you'll uncover inherent biases, probe algorithmic flaws, and gain a deeper understanding of AI's limitations and societal impacts.

The coach who led Team USA to four Math Olympiad gold medals shares his blueprint for staying irreplaceable in an AI-driven world.

As artificial intelligence transforms our world, what skills will remain uniquely human? How can we prepare for careers in an automated future?

Join Carnegie Mellon mathematics professor Po-Shen Loh for insights on navigating the AI revolution by embracing our humanity.

Dr. Loh brings a distinctive perspective shaped by his dual expertise: serving as national coach of the USA Mathematical Olympiad team (which has won four gold medals under his leadership) and developing innovative solutions for real-world challenges from pandemic response to educational technology.

Through his nationwide speaking tour that reached 250 audiences across 100 cities, he has refined a practical framework for thriving alongside AI.

In this presentation, Dr. Loh will explore how creative problem-solving, judgment, and communication become more valuable as automation grows -- and how students and professionals can build those strengths now.

The session includes real-world examples, guidance for education and careers, and a Q&A.

Speaker: Po-Shen Loh is a social entrepreneur and inventor, working across the spectrum of mathematics, education, and healthcare.

A math professor at Carnegie Mellon University, he also served a decade-long term as the national coach of the USA International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) team, taking the team to gold on numerous occasions.

He has pioneered numerous innovations and has been featured in or co-created YouTube videos with more than 25 million views.

Location: Wang Center Theater

The series is offered by Stony Brook University's Institute for Creative Problem Solving in collaboration with the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
