Research Interests

My research primarily focuses on two main areas: Networking and Cybersecurity. 

• Networking : developing communication protocols for the Future Internet Architecture, with a particular emphasis on Named Data Networks (NDN)

• Cybersecurity : attacks detection and mitigation

Networking and Cybersecurity in my research are applied in various areas namely C-ITS, IoT, UAV communication, Blokcchain

I use several methods and approaches like Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning (RL), Deep RL, Fuzzy Logic, etc
