About Me
I am a research fellow in the department of computer science at the University of Surrey. My current research project is in the field of trusted computing and aims to build a lightwight and formally verified swarm attestation protocol using "seL4" micro kernel.
I received my BSc in computer science and MSc in computer communication networks from Brunel University, UK. I also completed a PhD on "Indeterminacy-Aware Prediction Models for Authentication in Internet of Things" at Bournemouth University, UK.
My main research goal is to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) enabled solutions for cyber security. My main research interests are:
- Resilient AI and ML based solutions for Internet of Things security
- AI and ML enhanced approaches for malware detection
- Detecting and mitigating methods for orchestrated attacks in networks using AI and ML
- Adversarial ML in cyber security
