About
Dr. Monjur Alam is a leading researcher in cyber-physical system (CPS) security, with a focus on developing non-invasive, hardware-level defenses against sophisticated malware. His most-cited work, "REMOTE: Robust External Malware Detection Framework by Using Electromagnetic Signals" (2019, 56 citations), pioneered a groundbreaking approach to detecting malicious code in resource-constrained embedded systems. By analyzing electromagnetic emanations from devices, REMOTE bypasses the performance and memory limitations that prevent traditional antivirus from running on CPS controllers—a critical contribution as these systems manage power grids, medical devices, and industrial automation. This work established Alam as a key innovator in side-channel security, demonstrating that even stealthy, low-level malware can be identified externally without burdening the target device. His research bridges the gap between hardware security and practical CPS defense, offering a scalable solution for legacy and low-power systems. With over 200 total citations, Alam’s contributions are shaping next-generation intrusion detection, earning recognition for their potential to protect critical infrastructure from emerging electromagnetic and physical-layer threats.
