George Grispos

Dr. George Grispos is an Assistant Professor in Cybersecurity at the School of Interdisciplinary Informatics, University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO). He earned his Ph.D. in Computing Science from the University of Glasgow, Scotland in 2016, focusing on improving data quality during security incident response. He also holds a M.Sc. in Computer Forensics and E-Discovery from the University of Glasgow and a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Computer Networks from Middlesex University, England.

• Ph.D., Computing Science, University of Glasgow, 2016
• M.Sc., Computer Forensics and E-Discovery, University of Glasgow
• B.Sc. (Hons.), Computer Networks, Middlesex University

His research centers on digital forensics and cybersecurity, particularly in acquiring and analyzing data from modern digital devices for both offensive and defensive cyber operations. He investigates how forensic data can inform the design of technical and policy-based cyber defenses. His work bridges computing, law enforcement, and organizational security practices.

The available publication reflects a strong focus on mobile and cloud forensics, indicating ongoing research trends in digital evidence acquisition across distributed systems. His work has influenced policy, including citations in NIST and European Commission reports.

Dr. Grispos serves on the Editorial Board of Digital Investigation and has chaired tracks at HICSS and served on program committees for TrustCom, WSDF, and SERF. He is the research director of the Digital Forensics and Information Intelligence (DFi2) lab, which fosters collaborative research in digital forensics and cybersecurity. He mentors students through outreach programs like CodeCrush and engages in public education via media contributions.
