Securing computing and cyber systems is a challenging task under different types of attacks from various malicious sources. Measures to be taken against these threats and attacks require a wide range of techniques from cryptography to data analysis. We conduct high-quality research on providing enhanced security and privacy for different types of wired/wireless systems, networks and applications in the following focused sub-areas:
Security and privacy in wireless and wired networks including sensor networks, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems and wireless mesh networks
Security and privacy in Body Area Networks (BANs) and mobile health
Security and privacy in cyberphysical systems and the Internet of Things (IoT)
Dr. Gürbüz’s research is on designing network algorithms and protocols for bandwidth and/or energy efficient wireless networking towards 5G systems. In this context, her research interests include, but not limited to:
Medium Access Control (MAC), resource allocation and routing
Cross layer design
Video delivery and Quality of Service
Cooperative communications and networking
Full duplex wireless communications and networking
His current interest is on building fundamental understanding of and developing enabling technologies for the upcoming Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks. To this end, he is currently working on research topics such cache-aided wireless networks, energy efficient communications, energy harvesting systems, and information theoretical secrecy. His general area of interest is on communications networking and stochastic optimization.
