Many receiver designs have been studied in the past to discriminate between Phase-Shift Keying (PSK)…

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) offers quantum-resistant security, while fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) enables computation on encrypted data without decryption. However,…

However, passive EM attacks are limited by whatever leakage the victim happens to radiate. This…

STARKVILLE, Miss.—A team of researchers from Mississippi State University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering received the Best Paper Award at the IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC) 2026 in Novi, Michigan. The award recognized the paper, “EMI Characterization of Aging SiC MOSFETs Under Dynamic Ambient Temperature Conditions,” authored by graduate students Md Zakir Hasan, Subarto…
