Research areas

Our research, under the umbrella of Network and Security, not only provides sound theoretical foundations of key network design, evaluation and management but also involves more practical oriented efforts to solve industry problems. The Network and Security Research Group (NSRG) is one of the key research centres in the School of Computer and Mathematical Sciences.
