Francois Carrez

Dr. Francois Carrez is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Surrey, focusing on Internet of Things (IoT), network security, and wireless communication systems. His work emphasizes IoT security through machine learning-based intrusion detection, IoT architecture design, and 6G network innovations. He contributes to projects like DEDICAT 6G for dynamic coverage extension and FIESTA-IoT for federated IoT infrastructure. His research spans IoT datasets, network intrusion detection systems (NIDS), and service-oriented architectures for distributed systems.

Key technical areas include:

• IoT Security: Developing ensemble learning techniques for detecting IoT-specific attacks (e.g., Bot-IoT dataset analysis).
• Wireless Networks: Designing architectures for 5G/6G networks, dynamic scheduler management, and mobile web service distribution.
• Data Analytics: Real-time probabilistic fusion of IoT streams using Bayesian networks and adaptive machine learning.
• Semantic Interoperability: Creating ontologies and mediated gossiping mechanisms for large-scale sensor networks.

He collaborates on EU-funded initiatives like DEDICAT 6G, exploring coverage extension via mobile access points and human-centric applications. His work bridges theoretical advancements with practical implementations in smart cities, transportation systems, and industrial IoT.
