معرفی
Iryna Yevseyeva is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at De Montfort University, affiliated with the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Media and the School of Computer Science and Informatics. She leads the Cyber Security subject group and serves as Deputy Director of the Cyber Technology Institute. Her academic journey includes research roles at Newcastle University, the University of Leiden, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, INESC Porto, and the University of Algarve.
- PhD in Multicriteria Decision Aiding, University of Jyväskylä, Finland
- Postdoctoral experience in the Netherlands, Portugal, and the UK
- Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA)
Her research focuses on the application of operational research methods—particularly multi-criteria decision analysis and multiobjective optimization—to critical challenges in cyber security, including risk assessment, investment decisions, threat intelligence, and human behavior. She integrates decision science with cybersecurity to develop practical, data-driven frameworks for security governance and incident response.
The recent publications highlight a strong trajectory in applying advanced computational and optimization techniques to cybersecurity problems. Themes include evolutionary optimization for privacy metrics, gamified training for incident response, human error modeling (IS-CHEC), and portfolio optimization in both drug discovery and security controls. The interdisciplinary nature spans computer science, operational research, behavioral psychology, and healthcare informatics.
- DMU Commercialisation Award (2018)
- Academy of Finland Grant (2008)
- Erasmus Mundus Grant (2008)
Iryna has supervised 4 PhD students to completion and currently co-supervises 5 others. She has led over 10 research projects and secured more than 10 small grants as Principal Investigator, along with industrial grants from Innovate UK and Airbus. Her academic service is extensive, including guest editing for Springer journals, organizing international workshops (LeGO 2018, EMO 2023 track), and peer reviewing for top-tier journals and funding councils like EPSRC, MRC, and Horizon2020.
She is actively involved in the Cyber Technology Institute and leads research within the Multi-Criteria Decision Making and optimization domain. Her collaborations span Brazil (Unijuí), Finland, the Netherlands, and Portugal, reflecting a globally connected research profile.
