Krishna Sampigethaya, Organizer
No full textDr. Krishna Sampigethaya is currently the Chair for the Department of Cyber Intelligence and Security at the Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ, a DHS/NSA designated Center of Academic Excellence for Cyber Defense; offering one of the world\u27s few ABET accredited cybersecurity degree programs; a member of the US CYBERCOM Academic Engagement Network and the RSA®C Security Scholar Program; a DoD Cyber Scholarship Program site; and the only NSF CyberCorps Scholarship for Service (SFS) institution for aviation and aerospace cybersecurity.
Krishna received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Washington (2007) and was the first to defend a thesis on connected vehicle privacy and aircraft cyber security. He then joined The Boeing Company and was selected early as the first Associate Technical Fellow for aviation cyber-physical security. He was also the first Associate Director for cyber security at the United Technologies Corporation (UTC) Research Center.
Krishna founded the first aviation cyber security technical committee, sponsored by the SAE in 2008, and has organized cyber security tracks at AIAA, IEEE, and SAE aerospace conferences. He has served on the RTCA SC-216 standard committee. He co-edited the first special issue on cyber-physical systems, published in the first centennial year issue of the Proceedings of the IEEE journal. With over 65 papers, 24 keynotes/plenaries, and 24 patents in aviation CPS security, he has received awards such as the ASEI Engineer of the Year Award handed to him by the Honorable Charles Bolden and ASEI Corporate Engineering Excellence Award. At Embry‑Riddle, he has led several projects in aviation and aerospace cyber security including the world\u27s first student-led aviation cyber-physical security competition. He has taught the world’s only and award-winning ICAO course on aviation cyber security to professionals from over 24 countries. His pioneering work has been recognized by prestigious awards such as the 2025 AIAA Information Systems Award. He’s an AIAA Associate Fellow and a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.https://commons.erau.edu/avcysecworkshop-bios-2025/1000/thumbnail.jp
Dr. Jon Haass, Participant
No full textJon C. Haass was the founding faculty and served as department chair of the Cyber Intelligence and Security degree programs at the nation’s first College of Security and Intelligence at Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona. He served for more than two years as the interim Dean of the College, succeeding founding Dean Philip E. Jones. His vision for the Cyber department is to build upon the success as both a NSA/DHS designated Center of Academic Excellence and ABET accredited program through outreach to improve the national and international reputation through excellence in our graduates, impactful publications and grants, expansion of offerings in its degree programs and increased partnerships with private and public organizations.
Dr. Haass was appointed by Governor Ducey to represent northern Arizona on the Arizona Cybersecurity Team. He also serves as advisory board member for the Arizona Cyber Threat Response Alliance (ACTRA), a regional information sharing and analysis organization that includes companies in 14 of the critical infrastructure sectors, including aviation. His areas of research interest include the security issues associated with connected cyber-physical systems that encompass airplanes, cars, industrial controls and more. This Internet of Things (IoT) is likely to open an even larger portion of societies systems to cyber based attacks requiring us to educate our students, developers and leaders to the importance of this relatively new domain using machine learning and AI methods.
Since 2017, he has promoted the concept of The Center for the Future , an incubation, innovation and acceleration space for companies that would collaborate with the students and faculty of the campus, creating high quality jobs in the greater Prescott region. With former Chancellor Frank Ayers this was successfully presented in March 2019 to the Prescott City Council, in August 2020 the Council approved allocating funds to seed the concept. In partnership with fiscal sponsor Prescott Chamber Foundation and numerous other organizations Prescott Regional Opportunity Foundation and its Center project has operations in downtown Prescott, celebrating it\u27s two year anniversary this past July 2023.https://commons.erau.edu/avcysecworkshop-bios-2025/1020/thumbnail.jp
