Trosolwyg

My research interests span privacy, security, and (computational) trust in mobile networks.

Privacy is my main current focus, and these are the questions I try to answer:

  • In what ways do we disclose private information (through smartphone apps, social networks, Internet-enabled devices)?
  • How can we protect our information without going off the grid (by adding some sort of noise)?
  • Most importantly, how can we reason concretely and quantitatively about privacy attacks and defences (e.g. in order to provide privacy guarantees, or to monetize private information appropriately)?

Bywgraffiad

George Theodorakopoulos received the Diploma degree from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, in 2002, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA, in 2004 and 2007, all in electrical and computer engineering.

He is a Lecturer at the School of Computer Science & Informatics, Cardiff University, since 2012. From 2007 to 2011, he was a Senior Researcher at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He is a coauthor (with John Baras) of the book Path Problems in Networks (Morgan & Claypool, 2010).

He received the Best Paper award at the ACM Workshop on Wireless Security, October 2004, for "Trust evaluation in ad-hoc networks" and the 2007 IEEE ComSoc Leonard Abraham prize for "On trust models and trust evaluation metrics for ad hoc networks." He coauthored the paper "Quantifying Location Privacy," which was runner-up for the 2012 PET Award (Award for Outstanding Research in Privacy Enhancing Technologies).

Meysydd goruchwyliaeth

Rwy'n agored i bynciau newydd, ond mae gennyf ddiddordeb arbennig mewn goruchwylio myfyrwyr PhD ar

  • diogelwch a phreifatrwydd mewn dyfeisiau a rhwydweithiau IoT
  • Preifatrwydd mewn Dysgu Peiriant

Edrychwch ar fy nghyhoeddiadau i weld mwy o fanylion am y pynciau rwy'n gweithio arnynt ac am y dulliau rwy'n eu defnyddio yn fy ymchwil. Rwy'n fwy tebygol o oruchwylio myfyrwyr sy'n dangos i mi fod ganddynt ryw syniad o fy ymchwil.
