Research summary
AI-generated

Dongyan Xu's research centers on computer security, particularly detecting and defending against attacks on computer systems, industrial control systems, and cyber-physical devices such as drones and vehicles. Work includes tracking malicious activity across networks (provenance tracking for intrusion detection), securing automotive and robotic systems against sensor and communication attacks, and forensic analysis of compromised systems. Note that the publication list also contains several titles unrelated to this core area (e.g., medical and marketing studies), which may reflect name-matching noise in the underlying data rather than this researcher's actual output.
