Amir Javed

Dr. Amir Javed is a Lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Informatics at Cardiff University, where he has been employed since 2019. Previously, he served as a Research Associate at the same institution from 2015 to 2019, working on projects including WEFO collaboration with Airbus, the EPSRC Ebb and Flow Energy Systems project, and the ESRC HateLab project.

His research spans cybersecurity, machine learning, and IoT security, with particular focus on intrusion detection systems for in-vehicle networks, adversarial machine learning, cloud security, and cybersecurity education. He investigates malware propagation on social networks, drive-by download attacks on Twitter, and the application of machine learning for real-time cyberattack forecasting. His recent work explores generative AI integration in cybersecurity education and adversarial attacks on autonomous vehicle security systems.

Dr. Javed's publication trends reveal a strong emphasis on automotive cybersecurity (particularly intrusion detection for connected vehicles), adversarial machine learning techniques, and innovative approaches to cybersecurity education. His work increasingly focuses on federated learning applications for vehicle security and the educational challenges of integrating generative AI into cybersecurity curricula.

He leads the Social Data Science Lab (ESRC-funded, £1.5 million, 2020-2022) and teaches the CMT116 Cyber Security and Risk course. His supervisory portfolio includes doctoral research on in-vehicle network security, cloud service abuse detection, and adversarial attacks in intrusion detection systems.
