Policy PunchlineThe King of Electricity: Solar Energy Innovations That Will Power Our FutureLast October, the IEA declared that solar power is “the new King of Electricity.” But as it currently produces only 2% of the global electricity, the newly crowned energy royalty has a long way to go before it will reach full dominance. In Taming the Sun, Dr. Varun Sivaram outlines the financial, technological, and systemic innovations that could allow solar power to provide a third of our energy in thirty years and truly claim the mantle of “Electricity King.”
Dr. Sivaram began our discussion by outlining the transformations in solar power that will make it the world’s primary energy source. He hopes t...2021-03-0832 min

CERIAS Weekly Security Seminar - Purdue UniversitySivaram Ramanathan, Improving the Accuracy of Blocklists by Aggregation and Address Reuse Detection IP address blocklists are a useful source of information about repeat attackers. Such information can be used to prioritize which traffic to divert for deeper inspection (e.g., repeat offender traffic), or which traffic to serve first (e.g., traffic from sources that are not blocklisted). But blocklists also suffer from overspecialization -- each list is geared towards a specific purpose -- and they may be inaccurate due to misclassification or stale information. We propose BLAG, a system that evaluates and aggregates multiple blocklists feeds, producing a more useful, accurate and timely master blocklist, tailored to the specific customer...2020-11-1843 min

Breakthrough DialoguesWe Made Wind and Solar Cheap, Now What?Breakthrough has long argued that fighting climate change is mainly a matter of making clean energy cheap, and — thanks in large part to federal deployment subsidies — this is precisely what we've done for solar and onshore wind technologies. But since experts agree that they aren’t enough to fully decarbonize today's electric power grids, we need to focus subsidies on emerging sources of firm generation like advanced nuclear, while also investing in the energy storage and transmission infrastructure we need to support more solar and wind. The next few years mark a potential inflection point in the evolution of Americ...2020-06-1600 min
