Purdue teams up with DENSO to teach undergraduates about autonomous vehicles
In the field of autonomous vehicles, Purdue University researchers are making advancements every day in engineering, manufacturing, data science, and more. Thanks to a grant from leading mobility supplier DENSO, Purdue will soon be bringing these advancements into undergraduate classrooms.
Bluetooth Reconnection Flaw Could Lead to Spoofing Attacks
Professors Xu, Bianchi, Tian and researchers at Purdue Computer Science recently discovered a vulnerability that affects many IoT devices running Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The research centers around the routine reconnection process of BLE devices. The researchers conclude that their discovery implies that this vulnerability can potentially affect more than 1 billion BLE devices and 16,000 BLE apps.
A joint study with the School of Industrial Engineering and the Department of Computer Science with Professor Voicu Popescu and PhD students Daniel Andersen and Chengyuan Lin is the first to show medics successfully performing surgery in life-like simulations of these war zones by receiving guidance from surgeons through an augmented reality headset.
Professor Celik and fellow researchers find vulnerabilities in Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems
