Our team at the University of Windsor is currently focused on advancing automotive cybersecurity, where my role as a Research Assistant involves developing robust Trust-Based Models for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). Our collective efforts have led to designing a novel trust model that boasts a 100% detection rate for misbehavior in Road Side Units, marking a significant stride in network security. With a commitment to excellence in both industry and academia, we are contributing to the future of autonomous and connected vehicles through meticulous research and simulation work, utilizing Python for validating trust models. As my graduation nears, I am eager to leverage my education and research insights to drive innovation and collaboration in the dynamic field of cybersecurity.
