Dipti K. Sarmah

Dipti K. Sarmah serves as an Assistant Professor in the Semantics, Cyber Security and Services (SCS) group within the Department of Computer Science at the University of Twente's Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS), where her work bridges theoretical research and real-world security applications.

Education:

• PhD from the University of Twente, with doctoral research on high-capacity image steganography using nature-inspired optimization published in the Journal of Information Security and Applications and Information Sciences
• University Teaching Qualification Diploma from the University of Twente

Her research spans cyber security, steganography, cryptography, data hiding, steganalysis, human behavior analysis for threat prevention, and mathematical optimization. She applies these to practical challenges like e-skimmer defense, shoulder-surfing resistance, spear-phishing prevention, and educational steganography tools, emphasizing human-centric security solutions.

She actively supervises student projects including:

• Network Authentication of Images to Stop E-Skimmers
• Hide Your Pattern Password From Shoulder Surfers
• Studying Human Behavior to Prevent Successful Spear-phishing Attempts
• A Serious Game on Image Steganography Training For Students in Higher Education

Her industry experience includes Microsoft patent analysis work involving prior art searches, infringement assessments, and validity/invalidity analysis. No scientific awards were documented in the source material.
