Research Interest
My broad research interest is in the field of
Cyber Security and Computer Forensics. In my recent research
activities, I have focused on Encryption and Key Management as well as
Soft Security approaches such as Steganography and Covert Communication.
I am also interested in Economic and Social Network Analysis based
Information Security research. Current research projects I am involved include
but not limited to:
-
Social Network Analysis methods for transforming
network metrics to actionable intelligence.
-
Smartphone Forensics.
-
Soft Security for Wireless Embedded Systems.
-
Hybrid Key Management for Wireless Body Area
Network.
I have also worked closely with several
Socially
Relevant Computing projects. These projects aim to solve social
issues using the knowledge of Computer Science. Currently, I am a
Teaching Assistant of the corresponding course, CSE542.
