Dr Deepak GC

About

I am currently a Lecturer of Cyber Security and Digital Forensics to enhance the state-of-the-art research-informed teaching and learning environment in both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. 

During my postdoctoral research at Kingston University and Liverpool John Moores University, I have contributed to various EU and UK projects, e.g., EU FP7 S3isE, EU H2020 Wi-5 and UK EPSRC DARE, in areas such as cognitive radio, radio resource allocation, IoT, next-generation Wi-Fi, SDN, Public safety communication, amongst others. I have also obtained the Cisco Certification and industry experience to design efficient networks and their security frameworks, e.g., routing and switching protocols, VPN, intrusion prevention systems, etc. 

My general research interests include physical layer security, radio access technologies, 5G and beyond, spectrum sensing, Internet-of-Things protocols, drone-based cellular communications, blockchain, cryptography and various security aspects in network and telecommunication.

I am always looking for PhD students with a good background in cyber security, wireless technologies and Mathematics. Please contact me directly if you are interested.
