Short Biography
I am
an Assistant Professor and a Program Leader of Cyber Security in the Department
of Computing at Macquarie University. Prior to this appointment, I worked
as an Assistant Professor at Federation University Australia and Temple
University in Philadelphia, USA. My research is centred around
Cyber Security, IoT Security, Human-in-the-Loop CPS Security, Cryptography,
AI and Machine Learning for Cyber Security. I completed my PhD in Applied
Cryptography at Griffith University, and my PhD topic was on an exploratory
topic about the confidentiality problem of 3D content in mixed realities. I
completed my postgraduate studies (with Honors) in Telecommunication
Engineering in the field of Applied Cryptography, and also completed my
undergraduate studies (with Honors) in Biomedical Engineering in the field
of Bio-electronics. Throughout my academic journey, I have been awarded
multiple times for Academic Excellence, University Contribution, and
Inclusion and Diversity Support. I have also been recognized as a national
talent for academic excellence. I received the prestigious IEEE Australian
Council Award for my paper published at IEEE Transactions on Information
Forensics and Security, and I have been awarded a grant by the IEEE Signal
Processing Society to present the same IEEE Transactions paper at the IEEE
International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security in Rome,
Italy. I received a recognition diploma with cash award from the IEEE
Industrial Electronics Society for my publication at the 2019 IEEE IES
International Conference on Industrial Technology. I served as the guest associate
editor of IEEE journals and transactions, including IEEE IoT Journal, IEEE
Sensors Journal, IEEE Transactions on Industrial
Applications, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, and
IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence. I
served over 10 conferences in leadership capacities including program
co-Chair, track Chair, session Chair, and Technical Program Committee
member, including IEEE TrustCom and IEEE InfoCom, and DependSys. I am
a Senior Member of IEEE and chaired the Computational Intelligence Society
in the IEEE Victorian Section and the professional and career activities
for the IEEE Queensland Section. I am a Distinguished Speaker of the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) on the topic of Cyber-Physical
Systems Security.
Collaborators
I
have research collaborations with peers from academia and industry on the
topics of Smart Grid Security, Intelligent Transportation Systems Security,
Privacy Preserving Edge Computing, Trustworthy Machine Learning, and the
Usable Security for Mixed Realities.
Openings
Prospective graduate students: I am looking for
highly motivated graduate students (both PhD and Masters) with a strong
mathematical background. If you are interested in the area of my research, please
contact me along with your CV.
