How can we harness AI-driven solutions for enhanced security while ensuring they remain secure, trustworthy, and privacy-preserving?

Welcome to the cybersecurity research group at the School of Computing of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, led by Dr. Abdur Rahman Bin Shahid. Our lab is dedicated to pioneering research at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI forensics, and trustworthy AI solutions to address emerging digital threats, privacy challenges, and forensic investigations in AI-driven environments. 

Our research spans a diverse array of innovative topics including AI, generative AI forensics, the metaverse, robotics, federated learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile technologies, digital health, interdependent networks, and smart homes.

We leverage AI and emerging technologies to not only enhance the security of cyber-physical and AI-integrated systems but also to develop forensic methodologies for investigating AI-generated threats, ensuring transparency, accountability, and trust in AI applications.

Through interdisciplinary collaborations with renowned experts, industry leaders, and academic partners, we cultivate a dynamic ecosystem of innovation and scholarly exchange. Our ultimate goal is to drive meaningful advancements that redefine the future of CPS, ensuring they are both powerful and protective in our increasingly digital world.
