Final Year Projects (FYP)

Please, access more information here.

Let me share one piece of advise that you must consider before embarking on the FYP journey with me:

Feel free to propose a project on computing and send me an e-mail. Check my FAQ (password required) about how to conduct and engage in a successful FYP.

Supervision

I enjoy supervising highly motivated, curious, and independent individuals that are self-guided learners and help them in their computing journey. If you are equipped or have a desire to hone these skills, please do get in touch with me.

I am interested in the following topics, mostly with respect to cyber security and dependability:

• Combining cyber security, Attack Modelling Techniques (AMT), and risk assessment
• Advanced malware analysis and threat hunting
• Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIP) and analysis
• Cyber security posture and risk assessment of varied size organisations and preparedness
• Intrusion detection and models for understanding cyber-attack progression
• A wide range of topics in system dependability and resilience

Writing

I stress that you don't NEED to read all the below references, you SHOULD though. Writing is something to practice and learn over time. As you are starting to write down your own ideas, it is expected to stumble here and there, so, don't worry!

I am a strong believer that communicating ideas clearly is crucial for impactful outcomes. Please, read some tips on writing.

I recommend you to read this book: The Elements of Style, by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White. This book will change the way you think and write. It costs about £1 (Amazon's Kindle version). It will be the best £1 you will ever spend!

A marvellous book called "On Writing" by the master Stephen King is also another valuable source for good writing.

Learning LaTeX from the ground up:

• LaTeX has a steep learning curve - be mindful of this.
  • Access the Overleaf Learn website
• It is much more scalable than MS-Word, and generates output files (pdf) with higher quality
• Create an account in Overleaf, then add an empty project, delete the .tex file there, unzip this one here, and upload all files into there, as well as the folders, use CTRL-S to compile the pdf. Look at all .tex files in the project and fill with your information.
• Learn LaTeX in 30 min!
