Alexander Chefranov

Professor Alexander Chefranov is a distinguished faculty member in the Department of Computer Engineering at Eastern Mediterranean University's Faculty of Engineering in Famagusta, North Cyprus. He has been serving at EMU since 2002, initially as a Visiting Associate Professor until 2009, then as Associate Professor until 2021, and has held the position of Professor since 2021. Originally from Russia/USSR, he earned his Engineer-Mathematician diploma from Taganrog Radio-Engineering Institute in 1978, followed by his PhD (Candidate of Engineering Sciences) in Computer Engineering in 1984, and later his Doctor of Engineering Sciences in 1998.

Professor Chefranov's research spans multiple interdisciplinary fields with remarkable breadth. His primary research interests include fluid dynamics and hydrodynamics (particularly vortex dynamics, flow instability, and Navier-Stokes equations), cryptography and information security (with numerous publications on Hill cipher modifications and NTRU-like cryptosystems), image processing and steganography, and machine learning applications in scene recognition and medical imaging. His work demonstrates exceptional versatility across both theoretical mathematics and practical computer science applications.

His recent publications through 2025 reveal a continued active research trajectory across all his interest areas, with particular emphasis on hydrodynamic instability theories, advanced cryptographic techniques, and deep learning applications. His work bridges fundamental mathematical physics with cutting-edge computer science applications, demonstrating unusual interdisciplinary range.

Professor Chefranov is actively supervising graduate students, currently overseeing two PhD candidates (OLALEKAN EBENEZER IHINKALU and BEHNAM BOJNORDI ARBAB) and one Master's student (AMIRALI HATAMI), whose work focuses on steganalysis using deep learning approaches.
