My teaching and research focus in the field of cyber security, machine/deep learning, digital forensics, and computer science. In addition, I have many years’ of industry experience in a wide range of computing/IT fields, including computer security and cryptography, programming (C, C++, Bash, Awk/Sed Perl, Python, and Ruby), computer forensics, embedded systems, kernel internals, computer architecture, operating systems, Linux/Unix, malware analysis and secure programming. My current research explores the use of biology as a reference discipline that can provide meaningful insight and innovation in the Cyber Security domain.
