Talk: Applications of Quantum Computing and Optimization in Cybersecurity
12–1pm EDT, Friday, October 17, 2025, online
Applications of Quantum Computing and Optimization in Cybersecurity
Mohammadhossein Mohammadisiahroudi
Math/Stat Department, UMBC
Joint work with Zeguan Wu, Brandon Augustino, Tamás Terlaky, and Giacomo Nannicini
12:00 noon–1pm, Friday, October 17, 2025, WebEx
Quantum computing has emerged as a transformative computational paradigm capable of solving certain classically intractable problems exponentially faster. Among its groundbreaking developments, Shor’s algorithm demonstrated an exponential speedup for integer factorization, posing a potential threat to existing cryptographic systems and highlighting the disruptive impact of quantum computing on cybersecurity. Quantum computing, however, also presents opportunities to strengthen cybersecurity by enhancing optimization and information-processing capabilities. In this talk, we explore the intersection of quantum computing and optimization, focusing on quantum algorithms that offer computational advantages in solving large-scale optimization problems. In particular, we discuss the Quantum Interior Point Method, which provides a complexity advantage for solving conic optimization problems. We further illustrate potential applications in cybersecurity and information science, such as optimization models involving entropy and relative entropy cones, demonstrating how quantum optimization techniques can contribute to secure and efficient cyber-infrastructures.
Mohammad is an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UMBC. He is also member of UMBC's
Quantum Science Institute and
Cybersecurity Institute. Before joining UMBC, from 2024 to 2025, he was a postdoctoral research associate in the Quantum Computing and Optimization Lab at Lehigh University. He received his PhD in industrial and systems engineering from Lehigh University in August 2024. His research focuses on developing, analyzing, and implementing efficient quantum and classical algorithms for solving large-scale optimization problems arising in various applications, including machine learning, healthcare, and cybersecurity. His work has been recognized with the 2025 Pritsker Doctoral Dissertation Award from Institute of Industrial and System Engineers, the 2023 INFORMS Computing Society Best Student Paper Prize, and the 2023 Van Hoesen Family Best Publication Award.
Support for this event was provided in part by the NSF under SFS grants DGE-1753681 and 2438185. The UMBC Cyber Defense Lab meets biweekly Fridays 12-1pm. All meetings are open to the public.

Caring Robots in an Aging World: New Research from Japan, Denmark, and GermanyPost
Opportunity to meet Dr. Shawn Bender - Nov 6 from 4-5:30pm
Caring Robots in an Aging World: New Research from Japan, Denmark, and Germany
Thursday, November 6 | 4:00–5:30 PM | AOK Library Gallery
Join us for an engaging talk with Dr. Shawn Bender, a cultural anthropologist and professor of East Asian Studies at Dickinson College. His research focuses on the impact of robotics on relations of work and care.
The potential of robotics technologies to assist in the care of older adults and people with disabilities has attracted great interest worldwide. To date, few studies have examined the impact of care robots outside of laboratory experiments or short-term field trials. Based on ethnographic research in Japan, Denmark, and Germany, this talk examines the impact of robotics on everyday practices of care as well as the role of robot-assisted care practice in driving technological innovation.
Bonus for attendees: We'll be raffling three copies of Dr. Bender's book, Feeling Machines, during the event!
Cosponsored by the Departments of Sociology, Anthropology, and Public Health; Asian Studies; Gerontology; Human Contexts of Science and Technology; and the Center for Social Science Scholarship.
This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

Caring Robots in an Aging World: New Research from Japan, Denmark, and Germany
Thursday, November 6 | 4:00–5:30 PM | AOK Library Gallery
Join us for an engaging talk with Dr. Shawn Bender, a cultural anthropologist and professor of East Asian Studies at Dickinson College. His research focuses on the impact of robotics on relations of work and care.
The potential of robotics technologies to assist in the care of older adults and people with disabilities has attracted great interest worldwide. To date, few studies have examined the impact of care robots outside of laboratory experiments or short-term field trials. Based on ethnographic research in Japan, Denmark, and Germany, this talk examines the impact of robotics on everyday practices of care as well as the role of robot-assisted care practice in driving technological innovation.
Bonus for attendees: We'll be raffling three copies of Dr. Bender's book, Feeling Machines, during the event!
Cosponsored by the Departments of Sociology, Anthropology, and Public Health; Asian Studies; Gerontology; Human Contexts of Science and Technology; and the Center for Social Science Scholarship.
This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

Experiential learning opportunities that immerse learners in real-world problem solving.
Collaborative research projects with students and community partners.
Major redesigns of existing courses to center civic agency and engagement.
Connections with social changemakers and local communities.
You can explore examples of previous projects [here].
How to apply: Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis, and applicants are notified within four weeks. Visit the BreakingGround website for details: https://civiclife.umbc.edu/breakingground/
Info session: We are hosting two information sessions, one for faculty/staff and one for students:
