Research

Focus Areas

My work combines edge intelligence, lightweight consensus, and cyber-physical security for industrial environments where trust, latency, and resilience matter.

Real-Time Systems

Low-latency detection, response, and recovery for cyber-physical environments where security decisions must happen during operation.

Blockchain Systems

Lightweight verification, trust scoring, and consensus mechanisms for secure industrial and distributed systems.

Intelligent Systems

Adaptive security architectures that combine sensing, decision support, and automated recovery in connected environments.

Industrial IoT Security

Intrusion detection and prevention for industrial networks where latency, safety, and resource limits make conventional defenses difficult to deploy.

ML / AI

Machine learning and AI methods for cyber threat detection, federated learning, and resilient industrial network protection.
