Dr Hu Yuan

About

I serve as a lecturer in Computer Science at the Department of Networks and Digital Media within the School of Computer Science and Mathematics.

My research delves into the security and privacy dimensions of IoT. This encompasses areas such as the internet of bio-nano things, vehicular communication networks, user behavior identification, and advancements in space systems. I had the distinguished honor of presenting my research findings on IoT cybersecurity at the House of Lords. Additionally, I spearheaded the IoT-Tram project, marking the UK's first real-world cybersecurity test in the transport and mobility domain.
