Fully funded PhD at Aston University focused on cutting-edge cyber security for 6G networks using AI-driven Moving Target Defense. Join a leading research group tackling real-world cyber threats and building next-generation secure infrastructures.
Project Description
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship at Aston University within the Research Centre for Cyber Security, Privacy and Trust.
This project focuses on developing Adaptive Moving Target Defence (MTD) systems to secure critical services in emerging 6G networks.
As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, this research aims to design proactive security systems that continuously adapt and evolve to prevent attacks before they occur.
The project will explore:
AI-driven cyber defence strategies
Dynamic system reconfiguration for enhanced security
Protection against advanced threats such as DDoS, spoofing, and man-in-the-middle attacks
Real-world applications in next-generation 6G infrastructure
You will work within an established experimental research group and contribute to cutting-edge innovations in cyber security and network resilience.
