Background
Research interests lie at the intersection of network security and machine learning applications, particularly focusing on critical security challenges in modern cellular systems (4G/5G). Aims to detect fake base stations and defend against complex multi-step attacks within both traditional cellular networks and more recent ORAN environments. Combines network security, machine learning, and large-scale data analysis to design detection frameworks that can seamlessly integrate into existing infrastructures. Long-term goal is to bridge academia and industry to build future-proof, secure wireless networks.
