The Networks Research Group focuses on enhancing cybersecurity through advanced AI-driven techniques. Their work includes developing robust intrusion detection systems (IDS) using machine learning (ML) and AI, employing clustering techniques to identify anomalous network behaviors, and improving detection accuracy with ensemble learning. By integrating these approaches, the group aims to create adaptive, efficient, and intelligent security mechanisms to protect networks from evolving cyber threats.

Example projects:  

Integrated framework for network security challenges and attack aware strategies using machine learning techniques.
