Information Security and Systems
Reda Alhajj
Dr. Alhajj's research concentrates primarily on DATA SCIENCE and NETWORK SCIENCE from management to integration and analysis. Current research efforts include: (1) big data management, analysis and mining, (2) social media and network analysis, (3) systems and computational biology, bioinformatics, health informatics, (4) homeland security, terror and criminal networks, etc., (5) sequence analysis with emphasis on domains like financial, weather, traffic, energy, etc.
John Aycock
Studying the implementation of old computer games, technical work with links to numerous areas of computer systems, including compilers, interpreters, programming languages, data compression, operating systems, computer security, reverse engineering, code obfuscation, and copy protection.
Ken Barker
Interested in Privacy Preserving Data Repositories. How can a privacy-aware database management system be built, and how can privacy be preserved when data is being mined.
Jörg Denzinger
Studies artificial intelligence, knowledge-based systems and search, machine learning, automated deduction, multi-agent systems, coordination and cooperation concepts, learning of cooperative behaviour, collaborative search, learning agents, web agents, and distributed data mining.
Marina L. Gavrilova
Manages the Biometrics Lab, where students work on a variety of projects from biometric identification and recognition to multi-modal systems design, biometric data synthesis, adaptive methods in biometrics, data fusion and using biometric features in security applications.
Majid Ghaderi
Research is focused on design, optimization, and implementation of network systems and algorithms.
Ryan Henry
Investigates research which explores the systems challenges of applied cryptography, with a particular emphasis on using cryptography to build secure systems that preserve the privacy of their users.
Mike Jacobson
Works on problems in cryptography (data security) and computational number theory, especially to do with the efficiency and security of public-key cryptosystems.
Joel Reardon
Interested in applications (privacy, security, file Systems, networks), foundations (distributed systems, performance evaluation), humanities (social impact of computing, usability) and theoretic (cryptography, combinatorics, graph theory, computation).
Rei Safavi-Naini
Leads the iCORE Information Security Lab. Her research interests include cryptography, network security, digital and privacy rights management and mobile and sensor security.
Renate Scheidler
Researches development and implementation of algorithms for computing invariants of number fields and function fields as well as exploring these fields for cryptographic applications.
Mea Wang
Researches networking systems and algorithms, practical applications of theoretical concepts, quality of Services (QoS) and overlay & peer-to-peer protocols.
Carey Williamson
Interested in computer networks and computer systems performance evaluation. More specific interests include Internet technologies, wireless networks, Internet traffic measurement, TCP/IP, web performance, mobile computing, high speed networking, workload characterization and modeling, and network simulation.
