Next generation wireless networking infrastructures: Concentrates on the provisioning of network resources by enhancing the network operating systems to accomodate existing and future communication requirements.
Wireless networking: Software Defined Networks (SDN), Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTN), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN), Sensor Networks, Satellite Networks, and Internet of Things (IoT).
Systems security: I am interested in the security aspects of SDNs, especially from the perspective of SDN architecture.
Intelligent transportation systems: Focus on the exploration of hidden patterns in road networks to point out the possible reasons for the problems such as traffic congestion and inefficient traffic patterns.
Complex Networks: I am interested in analyzing any system of social importance using the tools of complex network analysis.
