Lecturer

Biography	I am currently a Lecturer in Cyber Security at the School of Computing at Robert Gordon University (RGU). Before this, I was a Senior Research Engineer (R&D) of Security Data Analytics at the Center for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) of Queen's University Belfast. Prior to CSIT, I was a postdoc in the ACiD project ( http://acidproject.org.uk ) at Coventry University. Visit https://sites.google.com/view/harshakalutarage/home to find more about me.
Research Interests	My research combines AI & Security. I am particularly interested in the use of AI for security applications on various systems (e.g. IoT, Computer Networks, Software Systems, Cyber Physical Systems, Smart-cities) and building security for AI-enabled systems via vulnerability analysis of AI/ML algorithms.
Teaching and Learning	I currently teach the following modules: - Security Testing (MSc/GA-MSc) - Wireless Networks (BSc) - Machine Learning for Cyber Security (MSc/BSc) – newly created module, to give students the opportunity to evaluate and apply AI technologies in cyber security (eg. use of AI for security monitoring, AI enabled pentesting, pentesting of AI-enabled systems via analysing the vulnerabilities of AI/ML algorithms). **Accepting PhD students (self-funded) in these areas
