Hyoungshick is a distinguished visiting researcher at CSIRO’s Data61. He is also working as an associate professor in the Department of Software, College of Software, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), Republic of Korea. He received his Bachelor of Science at the Department of Information Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea. In 2001, he received his Master of Science degree from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. He worked for Samsung Electronics on research projects for secure home networking and content protection before pursuing a PhD. In 2011, he received his PhD in the Security Group at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge with Prof. Ross Anderson, having written his thesis on complex network analysis for secure and robust communications. His research interests are usable security, blockchain and software security.

Alan’s current focus of research is on agent-based autonomic service compositions. He has previously conducted extensive research into adaptive and context-aware distributed software systems with over 150 publications. He is particularly interested in using system-theory to structure and control software architectures. He has applied his research in the industrial and environmental monitoring industries. He is currently also an Adjunct Research Fellow at Swinburne University of Technology.

Anton is a visiting researcher at CSIRO’s Data61, on part-time secondment from Defence Science and Technology Group (DST Group). He has worked at DST Group since 2006, in various roles and across different projects, mainly in the area of distributed systems security. Anton holds a PhD in Computer Science, an Honours degree in Pure Mathematics and a Bachelor degree in Maths and Computer Science, all from the University of Adelaide. His current research interests span the areas of autonomic/self-adaptive computing, distributed computing, software architecture and aspects of multi-agent systems, for the achievement of cyber resilience in IoT and Edge computing environments. Other research interests include architecture-level security, conceptual modelling and model-driven engineering.

Olivier de Vel obtained MSc(I Hons) from Waikato University (New Zealand) and a PhD in Electronic Engineering from the Institut National Polytechnique of Grenoble (INPG, France). He was previously Principal Scientist (Cyber) in the Cyber and Electronic Warfare Division, Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group, Department of Defence, Australia. Dr de Vel has worked at several national and international universities, in government research agencies (e.g., CNRS, ORSTOM, DSIR), and in industry R&D laboratories (BHP Billiton mining, GECO oil & gas industry). Dr de Vel joined DST Group in 1999 to set up and provide the scientific R&D leadership in cyber forensics. In 2005, he was appointed Research Leader in Cyber Assurance and Operations to lead the DST Group broad spectrum cyber-security program in the C3I Division. He was appointed Principal Scientist (Cyber) in 2015. Dr de Vel has developed collaborative research programs with government research entities as well as universities. His expertise is in the area of artificial intelligence and machine learning for cyber-security and he has published over 100 papers in computer science, digital forensics and machine learning.

Saad received his PhD degree in Computer Science from Macquarie University (Australia, 2020), MSc degree in Computer and Software from Hanyang University (Rep. of Korea, 2015), and BSc degree in Computer Software Engineering from GIK Institute (Pakistan, 2011). He is currently working as a Research Fellow at the School of Computing and IT, University of Wollongong. His current research interests include solving measurement-driven analytical problems in the domain of cyber resilience and human-centric privacy.
