Expertise

George's research interests lie in the area of cyber security, and its intersections with probability and information theory, cryptography, theoretical and applied machine learning, and wireless communications. He has been awarded four NSF grands and one NSA grant, totaling close to two million dollars, for cybersecurity projects focused on unconventional secure key establishment, community-enhanced authentication and procedural-learning-based user authentication. 

My research interests are focused on cyber security and its intersections with probability and information theory, applied and theoretical machine learning, control theory, graph theory, wireless communication networks, cryptography, and social sciences.
