Their secret? Bringing aerospace engineering's "failure mode" thinking to software systems. Using math to catch security flaws BEFORE they're deployed.
Because software IS the system now. And it better work when everything goes wrong.

CMU S3D PhD student Andy Hammer just won the NSF Graduate Fellowship for work that keeps hospitals online during ransomware attacks & EV stations running when compromised.
This is "solve big" in action - software that doesn't fail when we need it most.
