In 2013, I joined the Institute for Communication Systems, University of Surrey, and conducted research on 5G wireless networks. After that, I was with the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, where I conducted research on future Internet technologies and contributed to the EC H2020 RIFE project. In 2015, I joined the Secure and Dependable Software Systems Research Cluster at the University of Brighton, where I conducted research on 5G network security and contributed to the EC H2020 SESAME project. My main research interests are in the areas of network security, 5G wireless and mobile networks, future Internet technologies, software-defined networks, and Internet of things (IoT). I have served as a Guest Editor in IEICE Transactions on Communications, Elsevier Optical Switching & Networking, and IET Networks, and for the TPC of IEEE ICC and IEEE GLOBECOM.
