Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD (as Co-Supervisor) - email supervisor to discuss availability.

I hold a Ph.D. in Information and Communication Technologies (2017) from UniSA, an MSc in Telecommunications Engineering (2013) from the University of Trento (UniTN) in Trento, Italy, and a BSc in Telecommunications Engineering (2010) from Makerere University Kampala (MUK), Uganda.
My research interests include communication systems and theory, computer networking and cybersecurity, statistical signal processing, satellite, optical, and wireless communication systems, data analytics, and machine learning.
I taught and coordinated several courses within UniSA STEM and abroad before joining UniSA. Latest courses taught include Security Principles, Security Foundations, and Network Fundamentals.
I am an IEEE member and a reviewer for the Elsevier Journal of Digital Signal Processing and IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation Journal. 
My publication lists and corresponding preprints can be found through Google Scholar and through the UniSA repository respectively.

My current research interests are in securing space-integrated systems, and the security of converging space-enabled technologies and applications.
