Teaching

CMT116- Cyber Security and Risk

In terms of my research areas, I am interested in combining machine learning and cybersecurity together to develop detection and prediction models to identify different categories of cyber attack.

I am also interested in identifying cybercriminals on Online Social Network that are spreading malware and to understand factors that influence its propagation. Here I am interested in identifying malware that is produced by an organised entity or that by a single user and to examine the impact of different strategies aimed at disrupting the diffusion of malware on social network platforms such as Twitter.

In addition to these, I am interested in identifying offline disruptive events such as crime using online social data.

Supervision

I am available for postgraduate supervision. However, I would expect the student to submit a proposal highlighting the below-mentioned points.

• The scope of your project (i.e. what are the research questions and problems?)
• The current state of the art (i.e. summarise the existing literature that has been published on your chosen research topic)
• Current limitations (i.e. identify the “gaps” in existing literature in relation to the scope of your project)
• Proposed methods (i.e. what computational or modelling methods will you use to tackle the current limitations and develop new knowledge?)
• Anticipated contribution to Computer Science (i.e. what will we know after your PhD that we do not know now?)
