About Me

I currently hold a position as a Lecturer in Digital Communications in Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering in Loughborough University. Following my passion in Computer Networks and Network Security, I am leading the networks team of the Signal Processing and Networks group.

Until August 2019, I was also an academic staff in the Institute for Digital Technologies (IDT) at LU’s London campus and the first to conduct lectures for IDT’s MSc programmes, when they launched in October 2015. The modules I contributed were “Internet and Communication Networks” and “Computer Network Security”.

My PhD degree was in Computer Networks, supervised by Prof. David Parish in Loughborough University, where I continued working as a Research Associate leading or contributing on the following projects:

  • Network flow management using ontologies
  • EPSRC-DSTL: Signal Processing Solutions for the Networked Battlespace
  • EPSRC: Cross Layer Techniques for Intrusion Tolerant Networks
  • EPSRC: Enhancing Networks and Wireless Research

Current research areas:

  • Network intrusion detection and network security for
    • wired, wireless, virtual and cloud networks
  • Intelligent decision making based on network traffic conditions and contextual information
  • Performance measurement in next generation network paradigms (Fog Networks and Software Defined Networks)
  • Content delivery in Fog Networks
  • Security and management in Industry 4.0 environments
  • 5G integration with autonomous vehicles and IoT

Research Skills/Expertise:

  • Anomaly based Intrusion Detection Systems
  • Machine Learning (Support Vector Machines, Hidden Markov Models)
  • Data Fusion algorithms (Dempster Shafer, Basic Probability Assignment)
  • Context and Knowledge Representation (Ontologies, Fuzzy Cognitive Maps)
  • Network traffic analysis with signal processing techniques (Wavelet Transformation)
  • Deep Reinforcement Learning (Temporal Difference, Q-Learning)

Practical Skills:

  • Penetration Testing
  • AWS
  • ESXi virtualisation platform
  • SQL databases, SPARQL
  • Programming: Python, C, R, Matlab, Perl
  • Website development: R Shiny
  • Scripting languages: Bash, awk, sed
  • Linux systems and services configuration:
    • DHCP, DNS, SAMBA, Apache, Cisco Nexus
