My research focuses on broader perspectives of Cyber Defence and Security with a focus on Network Security, Unmanned Aerial Systems, Distributed Ledger Technology and Digital Twins. I am interested in adversarial modelling, threat intelligence, formal methods of verification, simulations, and hardware-in-the-loop associated with the above-mentioned themes. I have a track record of high-quality research publications, project participation, and the development of simulators and live systems, and I am ambitious about answering concerns of secure and responsible computing through behaviour-verification of computing-infrastructure.
