معرفی
Chhagan Lal is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway. He is part of the Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (CISaR) group and currently contributes to the EU-funded CYBERUNITY project. Certified in CISSP, CCSP, and Microsoft Azure Security (SC-100/200/300, AZ-500), he specializes in cybersecurity frameworks, compliance, risk assessment, threat intelligence, and machine learning applications.
His research focuses on advancing security and resilience in critical infrastructure, particularly in network and cloud security technologies. Key areas include Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Software Defined Networking (SDN), Information Centric Networking (ICN), and blockchain technologies for smart contracts. He has also worked on secure communication protocols for underwater acoustic networks and mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs).
Chhagan has been actively involved in multiple EU projects, including H2020-SU-SEC-2018 (LOCARD), H2020-ICT30-2015 (TagItSmart!), and EU-India collaborations (REACH). His professional activities include serving as a journal reviewer for IEEE Transactions and Elsevier publications, Program Chair for ACM WiSec 2017, and Publicity Chair for ACNS 2020 and related conferences. He has also contributed as a Program Committee Member to several cybersecurity-focused events.
His work emphasizes secure solutions for MANETs, VANETs, and industrial IoT systems, including projects like CENSOR (Cloud Enabled Secure IoT Architecture over SDN) and blockchain-based frameworks such as LEChain. Chhagan has authored book chapters on topics like secure machine-to-machine communication and vehicular cloud computing.
