February 5, 2025 – Two of our lab members, Jonah Kohlmeyer and James Hand, along with our faculty mentor Dr. Bryan Watson, won top poster with a faculty mentor at Cyber Rodeo! Cyber Rodeo is Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Aviation Cyber Initiative hosted by the Center for Aerospace Resilient Systems. It’s a two-day event focused on enhancing cyber resilience and mitigating cyber threats to aviation. It features technical demonstrations, company recruiting, Capture-The-Flag challenges, and an engaging poster session.
We are honored to have one of our lab’s posters selected as the top poster with a faculty mentor! When asked what the poster highlighted, Jonah Kohlmeyer, who helped create the poster with James Hand and faculty mentor Dr. Bryan Watson, replied:
BID4R’s contribution to this year’s cyber rodeo was an overview of STARS, or the Swarm Test Arena for Resilient Systems. Specifically, it presented a poster on “A Comparison of Biologically Inspired Faulted Agent Resilience Strategy Performance in Computer Simulated Environments Vs. Physical Swarm Test Platform Data.” The poster outlined the current work the BID4R lab is doing with the STARS platform and demonstrated one of our swarm units. – Jonah Kohlmeyer
Congratulations to Jonah, James, and Dr. Watson on a fantastic poster!
