What I'm looking for

I seek research-driven academic or industry roles focused on cybersecurity and cybercrime, collaborative interdisciplinary teams, opportunities to lead funded projects, engage with policy/law enforcement, and mentor students while advancing applied prevention technologies.

I am an interdisciplinary cybersecurity researcher and assistant professor specializing in cybercrime, user security, and technology-facilitated exploitation. I have over a decade of experience leading large-scale international research collaborations, securing grants, building academic–industry partnerships, and engaging with law enforcement to translate research into practice.

My work spans honeypot design, OSINT analysis, digital forensics, and applied experiments on online fraud, identity theft, and child protection, with publications in Decision Support Systems, Computers in Human Behavior, and Crime & Delinquency. I combine advanced methodologies (AI/ML, big-data analysis, interpretable analytics) with teaching and policy engagement to improve cybersecurity behavior and prevention.
