Hello, I'm
Antonis
Michalas
Assistant Professor in Cyber Security



I received my PhD in Network Security from Aalborg University, Denmark and I currently work as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Pervasive Computing at Tampere University of Technology, Faculty of Computing and Electrical Engineering. Within the Department of Pervasive Computing there is the Information Security group which is led by Billy Brumley and myself. The group comprises PhD students, professors and researchers. Group members conduct research in areas spanning from the theoretical foundations of cryptography to the design and implementation of leading edge efficient and secure communication protocols. Apart from my research work at the Information Security group, as an assistant professor I am actively involved in the teaching activities of the University. Finally, my role expands to student supervision and research projects coordination.
Prior to that, I was working as a lecturer (assistant professor) in Cyber Security at the University of Westminster, London. As a lecturer I was teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate courses related to cryptography, forensics, cyber security and network security. My role expanded to student supervision and research group coordination. In parallel I was an active member of the department’s project development and research activities.
Earlier, I was working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Security Lab of the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) in Stockholm, Sweden. As a postdoctoral researcher at the SEC Lab I was actively involved in national and European research projects and combined research with student supervision and project management.
I have published a significant number of papers in field-related journals and conferences and I have participated as a speaker in various conferences and workshops. My research interests include private and secure e-voting systems, reputation systems, privacy in decentralized environments, cloud computing, trusted computing and privacy preserving protocols in participatory sensing applications.

Actively involved in the current national and European research projects in the Security Lab, where I combine research with student supervision and project management. Within one year of starting at SICS, I have successfully obtained funding for three EU projects. Currently, I conduct research in the field of Security & Privacy for People-Centric Sensing, Cloud Computing, Trusted Computing, e-Voting Systems and Secure & Privacy Preserving e-Health Systems.
