RESEARCH INTERESTS

My primary research area is Data Science and Software engineering however my research
spans the intersection of domains of Data Science, Security and Privacy, Interconnectivity,
and Software Engineering. In the field of Data Science, my ultimate goal is to promote the
culture of data-driven decision making by focussing on both in the art of data wrangling and
data analytics. This involves preparing data and extracting insights that fosters informed
decision making.
Regarding Security and Privacy, my concentration revolves around implementing optimal
measures to thwart, identify, and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration of
computer networks and associated resources. This entails strengthening network
infrastructures against cyber threats and unauthorized entry, fortifying the robust defense
of sensitive data.
In the realm of Interconnectivity, my exploration spans Routing and Switching in tandem
with Network Optimization. Through the enhancement of routing and switching capabilities
and the optimization of network performance, my goal is to promote heightened
interconnectivity, facilitating secure and efficient information exchange.
My research extends into the realm of Software Engineering, particularly as networking
increasingly adopts a software-defined approach. Furthermore, the integration of Software
Development is inseparable from the processes of wrangling and analytics in data science.
