Research Interests

Ubiquitous Computing

Focus on improving the intelligibility and user control of context-aware applications, which help users in understanding why the applications are behaving in certain ways, and enable users to personalise application behaviours according to their individual needs and preferences.
Modelling and reasoning of context information for pervasive computing applications.

Network Security

Performance and robustness evaluations of NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection Systems) by emulating attacks that exploit a range of vulnerabilities within them.
