Short Biography
I am
leading the Master of Information Technology in Cyber Security in the Department
of Computing at Macquarie University. Prior to this, I worked as a Lecturer of
Networking and Cyber Security at Federation University Australia and as an
Assistant professor of Computer Science at 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 received the best paper award from the 18th ACM International
Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia (MoMM) in 2020. 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.
