Research Interests

My research focuses in the area of network security and mobile and wireless networks. I am interested in the analysis of different networking and security protocols and their use in new environments such as wireless networks, mobile networks and cloud computing and prove the effectiveness of such protocols in these new environments. For my doctorate research I analysed the use of IPSEC in 802.11-based wireless networks and prove the inefficiency of its use in this environment.
