Rate My Professor John Osho

John Osho is a Research Engineer at the Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Manufacturing Systems (ICAMS) at Auburn University. He earned his PhD in Computer Science and Software Engineering from Auburn University in August 2022. His doctoral dissertation, "IOT SECURITY: MODELING DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF IOT TECHNOLOGY," addresses the integration of security early in IoT engineering to mitigate costs associated with late-stage vulnerability patching. Focusing on integrity and availability security principles, the research proposes a framework and tool for modeling IoT device functionality, security requirements, specifications, and constraints, employing software engineering and digital twin prototyping. The methodology was validated through case studies on a Temperature LED Indicator and a commercial Sonoff BASIC R3 WiFi switch, producing deliverables such as device descriptions, physical devices, emulators, and a verification and validation tool that confirms specification adherence during normal operation and deviation detection under cyber-attacks.

Osho's academic interests include Internet of Things, software modeling and design, cybersecurity, Industry 4.0, and digital twins. He contributed to the Four Rs Framework for digital twin development, implementing the Representation component with a fused deposition modeling manufacturing machine. Notable publications include "Do you trust digital twins? A framework to support the development of trusted digital twins through verification and validation" (2025), "Manufacturing floor mapping and presence tracking with a physics-based game engine" (2024), "Empowering decentralized production: A distributed manufacturing system for additive manufacturing processes" (2024), "To Security and Beyond: Cyber-physical Security for Manufacturing Utilizing a Digital Twin Ecosystem" (2024), "Building Trust in Digital Twin through Verification and Validation" (2023), "IoT Security: Modeling, Development and Validation of IoT" (2022), "Four Rs Framework for the development of a digital twin: The implementation of Representation with a FDM manufacturing machine" (2022), and "Digital Twins: Representation, Replication, Reality, and Relational (4Rs)" (2021). His research has accumulated 141 citations.
