Sebastian Neumayer is an Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering at UAA. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. His thesis dealt with the survivability of network infrastructures after disasters and physical attacks. He also spent five years working at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory in the Cyber Security and Information Sciences Division, where he focused on developing security metrics that accurately estimate risk for prevalent network threats. Along with his teaching responsibilities, Dr.Neumayer is continuing his research on the reliability of networks during both cyber and physical attacks.
