Arnab Kumar Biswas

Dr. Arnab Kumar Biswas is a Lecturer at the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Queen's University Belfast. He is affiliated with the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT), an academic center of excellence for cyber security research (ACE-CSR) recognized by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). His research focuses on securing embedded systems through hardware-software co-design, network security, and quantum/post-quantum cryptography, with applications in remote healthcare, satellite communication, and IoT.

He has secured significant funding and equipment including an Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) grant for Space 2.0 research, a CHERI-enabled Morello board from ARM, and Intel's DE10Pro Stratix 10 GX/SX accelerator. He also received 12 PYNQ Z2 boards from AMD for teaching and projects. His work emphasizes secure-by-design concepts and hardware acceleration for cryptographic solutions.

Biswas is actively involved in PhD supervision, offering projects in decentralized trust zones for remote health monitoring and zero-trust power management for on-chip systems. His research contributions span network-on-chip security, IP protection via timing channels, and countermeasures for wireless NoC attacks. He has been recognized with awards such as the Fredrik and Catherine Eaton Fellowship (2024) and the Richard Newton Young Fellow award (2014).
