M. Ali Babar a Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Adelaide.
During the more than 18 years of my research career, I have individually and as a team lead carried out World leading research on many topics that are considered vital for industrial software intensive systems and services. For the last 5 years, my team and I have started mainly focusing on developing approaches and tools for engineering Secure Software Systems and Services for/with emerging technologies such as Cloud Computing, Edge Computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data. Technologically our research falls at the intersection of Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence (ML/NLP), and Cyber Security; methodologically we use empirical research methods, both qualitative and quantitative.
Traditionally, I have carried out research in Software Systems Engineering, an area that is being increasingly considered critical to Cyber Security. The results of my research have been published in more than 240 peer-reviewed scientific papers that have attracted 9900 citations with h-index 49 according to Google scholar, 2 March 2021. This level of citations is among the leading Software Engineering researchers in Aus/NZ. Along with my collaborators, I led the authoring of a paper that was awarded the most influential paper for Australasian Software Engineering Conference in 2014 and several of my co-authored papers have received the best paper award at different international conferences. I have built and led high performing R&D teams that have successfully carried out high quality research, mostly in close collaboration with industry.
I led the University of Adelaide’s participation, involving 16 researchers from 6 schools, in a successful bid for setting up a Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC), whose estimated budget is around A$140 Millions over 7 years with A$50 Millions provided by the Australia government. I was one of the key players who led the development of the business case for establishing the CSCRC consisting of two programs (i.e., Security of Critical Infrastructure and Cyber Security as a Service). I leads the theme on Platform and Architecture for Cyber Security as a Service.
Our research is being carried out and evaluated in close collaboration with industry/government partners such as DST, ActewAGL, TSS, ATO, Jemena, Cisco, DST Group, Health SA and Defence SA. We also have active engagements with the emerging Australian Cyber Security ecosystem’s key players such as AustCyber, Data61, DST Group, Oceania Cyber Security Centre, and Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre (AC3).
