Computer and network security, cryptography, biometrics, wireless network security (802.11 WLAN, RFID, sensor networks), privacy.
I am currently involved in research projects focusing on cyber security education and training, and intrusion detection in computer networks.
I am currently University Teacher in Communication Systems and Cyber Security at Department of Computing, University of Turku, Finland. I received my doctoral degree [D.Sc.(Tech.)] in Communication Systems in 2017 from the University of Turku. I have over 10 years’ experience in teaching engineering students on cyber security and communication systems engineering, and have supervised over 100 Bachelor’s and Master’s theses.
My reserach interests are centered around various cyber security topics. My main interests are security and privacy in the networked information society, biometrics and biometric passports, cryptography, and security design in hardware, software and networks.
Current reserach topics of interest are:
- Forced trust in Internet infrastructure
- Intrusion detection in computer networks
- Data ownership, control, and privacy
- Security of autonomus systems and vehicles
I teach introductory cyber security and communication systems theory to first year students. I also teach an advanced level course on firewalls and intrusion detection systems, and teach wireless local area network security.
