‘Cybersecurity and connected intelligence’

This talk will present my research on cybersecurity and its intersection with IoT and AI. I am eager to collaborate with colleagues working in areas such as AI/ML, IoT/CPS, hardware, large-scale data generation and handling, and connected or automated systems in general. I recently joined the University of Glasgow as a Professor of Cybersecurity, following 16 years of working experience in Sweden. During my time in Sweden, I led several national and EU research projects and look forward to working on large national and international proposals with UofG colleagues.

‘Remote sensing: From surface knowledge to deep understanding’

My research career has explored the interface between the remote characterization of complex, dynamic physical systems and rigorous signal and image processing, data science, and machine learning. Fundamentally interdisciplinary in nature, I hope to grow my collaborative network spanning scientists and physicists studying, e.g., the sun, solar wind, and geoeffective interactions, statisticians focusing on extreme dimensional inference, and computational technologists. My plans are to grow my UK research footprint and connect new colleagues with existing partners in the USA, EU, and China and explore fresh application domains. Though it is challenging to cross research discipline boundaries, I have found these experiences to be the most enriching and rewarding both for myself and students I have supervised.

‘Geospatial AI for Urban Analytics: Unlocking Spatial Knowledge through Vision-Language Models’

I specialize in applying and developing vision-language models (e.g., GPT-4) empowered by geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI), focusing on the analysis and interpretation of complex urban systems for digital twinning. My research bridges geospatial data science, AI, and remote sensing, with applications in urban analytics and sustainable development. I aim to collaborate with disciplines such as environmental science, urban planning, and computer science, and welcome insights from CoSE to explore interdisciplinary challenges. My vision includes securing funding and fellowships for projects on environmental biodiversity and health, active travel, and urban sustainability, as well as fostering international partnerships through collaborative research opportunities based on 2024-25 ECMS award.
