Dr. Joseph Kamto
Biography
Joseph earned his Masters' degree and his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering respectively in 2008 and 2014 from Prairie View A&M University.
His Masters research was to develop a secure anonymous routing in wireless communication mesh network and his Ph.D. research topic was to defend smart grid against cyber-attack, providing end-to-end confidential power demand aggregation in near real time for power production-demand balance and end-user accountability for Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI) with consideration to the power system resiliency and end-user power demand privacy to promote the trustworthiness of the smart grid.
During his Ph.D. study, he involved and performed well in variety of Electrical Engineering courses/projects and developed a decent knowledge of power systems analysis that he combined with his communication security background to gain substantial experience on cyber-security in AMI part of the future smart grid cyber physical system, resulting in high-quality peer-reviewed publications. He was HBGI Fellowship recipient and 2013 outstanding Ph.D. student, College of Engineering, PVAMU.
Joseph has been teaching electrical and computer engineering and computer sciences courses since 2015 as adjunct instructor and visiting assistant professor at HCC, UTTYLER and TSU until Fall 2020 when he joined UHD as a Lecturer at the CSET. Prior to that he worked as electrical/instrumentation engineer at Technip FMC as well as intern engineer scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory where he participated in the development of the elpasolite handheld radiation detector, designing a friendly graphical user interface using LabVIEW software resulting in a journal publication.
