UM Computer Science Professor Alex Halderman: a skilled attacker's work might leave no visible signs--though the country might be surprised when results in several close states were off from pre-election polls.

The scientists, among them J. Alex Halderman, the director of the U-M Center for Computer Security and Society, told the Clinton campaign they believe there is a questionable trend of Clinton performing worse in counties that relied on electronic voting machines.

The group, which includes voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the U-M Center for Computer Security and Society, believes they’ve found persuasive evidence that results may have been manipulated or hacked.

“That’s one of the big things that’s changed in my lifetime,” said Richard Rood, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Michigan. “The U.S. was originally the only global network."

"In the short term, consumers are pretty much up a creek without a paddle," says Kevin Fu, associate professor in the electrical engineering and computer science department at the University of Michigan.

"I fear for the day every hospital system is down," Kevin Fu, who teaches computer security at the University of Michigan, told the hearing. "This will require some kind of governmental mandate."

SpaceX has filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for approval to launch a satellite constellation composed of 4,425 satellites to provide global broadband and communications services.

In the US, scientific research on climate change is mainly funded by the NASA, NSF, NOAA, and DOE, Huang Xianglei, an associate professor from the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering at U-M, told Xinhua.

U-M agreements add up to more than $54 million in investments that will aid early-stage and advanced research in connected vehicles and clean water technology.

"If we want the computers to behave differently, we have to actually pay attention to how we build them so we don't just create mirrors of what society does," says Rada Milhacea, a professor of computer science at U-M.

“A Brief Chronology of Medical Device Security” is the result of THaW, which is funded by the NSF. A.J. Burns, professor at UT–Tyler, and P. Honeyman, research professor of CS at U-M, collaborated on the article.

Gary Was, PhD, Professor of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at U-M, told Salon, “The price of gas is really low, which is putting tremendous pressure on nuclear plant operators.
