Biography

Richard “Barney” Carlson is a research engineer with more than 25 years of automotive research experience. As a graduate student at the University of California at Davis, Barney led the high-voltage and powertrain team in the design, development, and construction of multiple plug-in hybrid electric vehicles for the FutureCar and FutureTruck challenge. The UC Davis team took first place three times (1995, 1997, 2000). Barney was awarded six patents during his time at General Motors Research & Development on efficiency improvements of powertrains for automotive systems. At INL since 2009, Barney is the principal researcher for the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Laboratory (EVIL). This lab evaluates high-power and bi-directional EV charging infrastructure with a primary focus on OT cybersecurity. Barney continues to expand collaborations with numerous EV manufacturers and Charging infrastructure manufacturers in the effort to support the security of these advanced charging infrastructure systems required to fulfill the needs of the light, medium, and heavy-duty EV markets. This focused research identifies and demonstrates exploitable vulnerabilities, as well as develops mitigation solutions to respond and recover from malicious and anomalous events.
