Bio

Patrick Tague is an associate teaching professor in the Information Networking Institute (INI) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), responsible for creating, teaching and continuously improving several graduate-level courses in networking, security and computer systems. These course areas are very closely aligned with Tague's research interests which include IoT security and privacy; wireless communications and networking; resilient networked systems; and analysis and sense-making of data from sensing devices.

Tague has been an active member of the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) Community, contributing to all of the current NCAE-C programs through peer review, mentoring and co-authoring and -designing program guidance. Tague also co-advises the Carnegie Mellon Embedded Systems Club (CMESC) and the associated student team that participates annually in the MITRE Embedded Capture the Flag (eCTF) competition. During his time at CMU, Tague has been the primary advisor for 11 graduated Ph.D.s, four who continued in academic professorship roles.

Tague is a co-author of 90 peer-reviewed publications, seven US-issued patents, and numerous technical reports. Tague earned his Ph.D. and MS degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Washington as a member of the Network Security Lab and BS degrees in Mathematics and Computer Engineering from the University of Minnesota.
