I work on the applications of artificial intelligence for cybersecurity with the aim of improving proactive cyber threat intelligence applications in protecting privacy of Internet users. I am particularly interested in applied machine learning and characterization, measurements, and analytics for complex cyber-security and socio-technical systems.
