Adeela Bashir

Dr. Adeela Bashir is a Researcher at Teesside University's School of Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies, holding a Doctor of Philosophy degree. Her work bridges computer science and economics through interdisciplinary research in artificial intelligence and game theory.

Her primary research focuses on Responsible AI, AI Regulation, and Evolutionary Game Theory, with specific investigations into strategic interactions in regulatory frameworks, cybersecurity dynamics, and Trustworthy AI systems. This research addresses critical challenges in AI governance for small and medium enterprises, particularly through game-theoretic modeling of regulatory compliance and cyber defense mechanisms.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a cohesive trajectory examining how large language models navigate regulatory scenarios and how attack-defense dynamics evolve in cyberspace. Her work consistently applies evolutionary game theory to model complex interactions between AI systems, regulatory bodies, and malicious actors, with practical applications in supply chain security.

Dr. Bashir serves as Research Assistant on the Innovate UK-funded SafeSCMS project (April 2024-July 2024), which develops trustworthy AI decision support systems for supply chain security in SMEs. This project addresses real-time cybersecurity challenges through intelligent decision-making frameworks.

She collaborates extensively with an interdisciplinary team led by Dr. Z. Shamszaman, including co-investigators Dr. I. Sfyrakis and Dr. T.A. Han, fostering cross-institutional research in AI security and regulatory compliance.
