Arafat Asim is a final-year Ph.D.
student in Cyber Studies at the University of Tulsa and a Graduate Research
Assistant working in critical-infrastructure cybersecurity ran by DOE.
Originally from Bangladesh, his research focuses on the security and resilience
of cyber-physical and operational technology systems, particularly in the
energy sector.
His work examines how network
activity, industrial control data, and physical measurements can be combined to
better understand system behavior, detect abnormal conditions, and support
resilient operation of electric-power infrastructure. His broader interests
include cyber-physical observability, industrial control system security,
anomaly detection, and resilient system design.
After completing his Ph.D., he
plans to continue in advanced cybersecurity research, applied research, with a
focus on protecting energy and other critical infrastructure. Outside of
research, he enjoys playing FIFA and card games with friends.
