Research Interest
My research focuses on agent-based modeling and simulation techniques to study cybersecurity dynamics, particularly the human and organizational aspects of cyber defense. My work explores how individuals, organizations, and adversaries behave in cyber incidents, using simulations to model phishing attacks, intrusion detection system (IDS) resilience, and adversary personality-driven strategies. Rather than traditional cybersecurity research that emphasizes technical vulnerabilities, my studies emphasize socio-technical interactions, examining how human decision-making, training, and security policies impact cyber risk. My goal is to develop computational frameworks that predict and analyze cyber threats in a holistic, behavior-aware manner, aiding in the design of more effective cybersecurity strategies for both industry and government applications.
