About

Raheem Beyah is a leading voice in critical infrastructure security, with a research portfolio that bridges cyber-physical systems, mobile networks, and the Internet of Things. He is perhaps best known for pioneering security in domains historically overlooked by the field. His seminal work, "HoneyBot: A Honeypot for Robotic Systems" (2017, 39 citations), introduced the first dedicated deception technology for robotic systems, addressing a dangerous security gap in platforms—from surgical robots to autonomous vehicles—that were built for function, not defense. This contribution established a new subfield of cyber-physical deception. Earlier, Beyah made foundational contributions to data collection in highly dynamic environments with "SMITE: A Stochastic Compressive Data Collection Protocol for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks" (2011, 35 citations), tackling the extreme connectivity challenges of networks formed by moving entities like vehicles and robots. His work has earned him an NSF CAREER Award and recognition as a Georgia Tech ADVANCE Professor, reflecting his dual impact on both technical innovation and broadening participation in engineering.
