Sriharsha Etigowni researches security solutions for power systems as explosive demand from artificial intelligence, data centers, and reindustrialization reshapes grid infrastructure. His work addresses threats such as attackers manipulating control signals to destabilize frequency, exploiting communication protocols to disrupt operations, or compromising devices to trigger cascading outages affecting millions. He develops defensive methods grounded in physics-based verification and cyber-informed engineering principles that leverage fundamental physical laws alongside cybersecurity techniques. The research spans device, network, and system levels, advancing capabilities to detect malicious activity, sustain operations under attack, and minimize disruption. His contributions strengthen grid security as infrastructure evolves to meet growing electricity demands and integration challenges.
