Knowledge Discovery Laboratory
Dr. William Eberle is a co-Director of the lab. This lab currently includes a multi-core, multi-processor high-speed blade, with access to a 7-terabyte high-speed disk. All of the equipment is maintained by a full-time staff member who is dedicated to supporting the laboratories.
Embedded Systems Design and Hardware Security Lab
The lab is run by Dr. Hasan. The Embedded Systems research lab at TTU is fully operational with 7 PCs running state-of-the art FPGA embedded system design tools. The lab also has software/hardware network sensing and traffic generation tools for Network protocols. The lab has 15 FPGA reconfigurable prototype boards. The ECE Computer Aided Design (CAD) labs currently contain 29 Windows workstations managed by the TTU Information Technology Services (ITS). The lab also has electronic design automation tools from Cadence, and Mentor Graphics.
Network Security and Privacy (NetSec) Lab
The lab is founded by Dr. Mahmoud. NetSec lab's equipment includes two printers, six PC computers, and one server. The printers are HP LaserJet M521 PCL6 and Dell 5210n. E ach PC computer has 8 GB Ram, 64 bit operating systems, Intel Core i5 2.9 GHz, and 500GB hard disk. The server is Lenovo that has Windows server 2012, 16GB, Intel Xeon CPU E5-2420, and 2.2 GHz (two processors). All of the equipment is maintained by full-time staff members.
The Smart Grid Lab
The smart grid lab is a newly developed smart grid infrastructure prototype capable of hardware simulation of more than 150-bus systems and more than 20 generators can be synchronized to the system. The system can also allow the integration of renewable energy systems such as wind and solar. With generating power of more than 150kW, the infrastructure is unique in size and power in the US academia.
