About

Dr Arun Kumar is an accomplished computer science researcher with a strong focus on network security and communication in the digital realm. With a doctoral degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Delhi, his research has significantly contributed to the field of secure data forwarding techniques in Delay-Tolerant Opportunistic Networks (OppNets).

During his doctoral studies, Dr Kumar designed and developed an innovative intrusion detection scheme for OppNets, utilizing cryptographic and trust-based protocols. Recognized for his research, he secured grants from renowned organizations such as the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Finep, the Government of the Russian Federation, and the National Funding from the FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia). This external funding allowed him to conduct his cutting-edge research and contribute to the advancement of network security solutions.

Dr. Kumar's work has also focused on addressing network attacks, including blackhole, wormhole, and super/hypernova. Through his innovative solutions, he has significantly improved the reliability and resilience of OppNets in the face of malicious threats. His research findings have been published in top-tier international journals, including IEEE, Wiley, and Springer, showcasing his expertise and ability to contribute to the academic community.
