Monowar Hasan

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of EECS at Washington State University (WSU). I lead the Cyber-Physical Systems Security Research Lab (CPS2RL). Before joining EECS@WSU, I held an Assistant Professor position in the School of Computing at Wichita State University from 2021-2022. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My doctoral work focused on securing real-time systems, particularly integrating security as a first-class design principle in real-time schedulers.

My research interests are broadly in building trustworthy computer systems. Current research focus includes (a) security in real-time and cyber-physical systems, Internet-of-Things, and vehicular communication networks, (b) building predictable and trustworthy machine learning models, and (c) digital agriculture cybersecurity. My research has evaluated the security and resilience aspects of cyber-physical domains, including security in both traditional and learning-enabled real-time systems, detecting misbehavior in vehicular communication networks, and adapting software-defined networking (SDN) for safety-critical network resilience.

Graduate Student Openings (Spring/Fall 2026)

I look forward to hiring two PhD students who will be working on the topics related to (i) security and resiliency of real-time and CPS/IoT/V2X/edge systems, (ii) quantum cyber-physical systems, and (iii) building resource-aware real-time machine learning frameworks. Students with prior research experience, expertise in Systems (operating systems, embedded systems programming, Linux kernel development), and a significant online presence (contributing to open-source tools and maintaining active visibility on GitHub or similar platforms) are strongly encouraged to contact me.
