Prof. Ramviyas Parasuraman 
- PhD Robotics and Automation
- Assistant Professor at the University of Georgia
- Senior Members, IEEE
Dr Ramviyas Nattanmai Parasuraman achieved his Ph.D. (Robotics and Automation) from Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain. Dr Parasuraman conducted his doctoral research at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), Switzerland, and obtained his Dr. Parasuraman is a recipient of the prestigious Marie Sklodowska Curie ESR Fellowship. Dr Parasuraman had held postdoctoral appointments at Purdue University, USA, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. Currently, Dr Parasuraman is an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at the University of Georgia, where he directs the Heterogeneous Robotics Research Lab. Within the University of Georgia Dr Parasuraman conducts cutting-edge research in heterogeneous robotics and multi-robot systems, collective swarm intelligence, rescue robotics, and human–robot interfaces. Dr Parasuraman’s work has appeared in well-known publication venues in Robotics, such as IROS, T-RO, RA-L, MRS, DARS, etc.
Presentation: Relative Localization in Multi-Robot and Wireless Networked Systems
Abstract: Dr Parasuraman will present his recent work in the research of relative localization in mobile robots and sensors, where the robots collaborate their measurements and apply Bayesian sampling and graph-theoretic approaches to perform relative localization and exploration in a distributed manner. The novelty of these approaches lies in their ubiquity of relying only on minimal sensor data, making them applicable to SWAP-constrained devices like IoT nodes and swarm robots. Dr Parasuraman will also present some extensions of these works to an autonomous multi-robot exploration domain by presenting a distributed earning technique using ad-hoc map merging and significantly reducing communication and computation costs.

Virginia Koday
- M.S. in Cybersecurity
- Cyber Systems Security Engineer in the Advanced Technical Leadership Program at Lockheed Martin
Virginia Koday obtained a B.A. in Sociology from University of Phoenix in 2014, a B.A. in Information and Computer Sciences from the University of Hawaii in 2018, and an M.S. in Cybersecurity from the University of Denver in 2020. Ms. Koday works at Lockheed Martin, where she conducts cyber assessments on developing technologies to implement cybersecurity into the engineering process. She is also leading the development of Lockheed Martin’s Cyber Test and Evaluation Guidelines, making a unified approach on cybersecurity practices for the entire company. Having served in the military for 9 years, Ms. Koday volunteers at a local veteran’s group V.E.T. aimed at providing veterans the means and community to get outdoors. She also volunteers at various Cybersecurity and Capture-The-Flag events. Ms. Koday has received awards on her technological expertise including penetration test competitions, and is in Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technical Leadership Program.
Presentation: Cybersecurity Engineering: Building robust architecture in a cyber-contested world
Abstract: Recent news has published information on technology and infrastructure at risk for being compromised due to cyber-attacks. There are several instances in which these attacks have been successful and have resulted in great consequences. Integrating Cybersecurity into the engineering process will enable designs to be resilient against attacks and ensure that the technology can operate in an increasingly hostile environment. This presentation will share examples of these attacks, how to identify vulnerabilities in designs, and a process that engineers can integrate into their development cycle to include cybersecurity into their architecture.
