About me

I am a Senior Lecturer in Information Technology. Previously, I was a Research Fellow and Lecturer at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne.

I teach undergrad and postgrad students in the areas of cyber security and networking.

My research areas are cyber security (e.g. securing healthcare systems, cyber security for SMBs), network security (e.g. covert channels), network measurement & network data analysis, security mechanisms for the Internet of Things (IoT), IPv4 to IPv6 transition, machine learning network traffic classification, transport mechanisms (TCP performance, Less-than-best-effort TCP).

My research is mainly applied and experimental research - I use experimental testbeds and running code to test and evaluate new mechanisms.
