Prowell will focus on how and why computer networks are fundamentally
insecure and how existing economic, political and social forces are likely to
make things worse. He also will talk about changing strategies and motivations
for exploitation, as well as what individuals can do to increase their own
security.
Prowell works in ORNL's Computational Sciences and Engineering Division and
holds a joint appointment as associate professor in UT's Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering.
For more than a decade, Prowell has worked on making software systems more
reliable, safe and secure. He also has developed novel ways of specifying,
analyzing and testing software applications and embedded devices. As an
industry consultant, he has worked on projects ranging from tiny embedded
devices to large distributed industrial control systems, from simple software
applications to sophisticated medical imaging. More recently his work has
focused on computationally intensive cybersecurity, combining formal analysis
methods with high-performance computing.
