About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the school of computer science at the University of Adelaide, Australia. I am also a member of CREST research center. My research is focused on the quality-centric design and evaluation of data-intensive systems.  This involves designing large-scale systems that are adaptable and resilient in the face of changes in the operating environment. 

I obtained PhD degree from the University of Adelaide. My PhD was focused on the use of tactics/patterns to design adaptable data-intensive systems for detecting, preventing, and investigating cyber-attacks. Currently, I am working on two large-scale industry projects - designing energy-efficient big data systems and security-by-design for C3I/SoS systems.
