Abbas Arghavani, Associated Senior Lecturer

I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science, from the Department of Computer Science, University of Otago, New Zealand, in 2019. From 2020 to 2022 I was a postdoc with the Signal and Systems division, Electrical Engineering Department, Uppsala University, Sweden. I am now an associate senior lecturer with the cyber security group, at Mälardalens University (MDU), Sweden. My research interests include Cyber Security, Computer Networks, Wireless Communications, Sensor Networks, and Quantum Communication.

My research interests include Cyber Security, Computer Networks, Wireless Communications, Sensor Networks, and Quantum Communication. I am currently leading a project funded by AI@MDU titled "GANCOM: GAN-based Chaotic Modulation for Secure Wireless Communication," where I explore innovative approaches to enhance security in wireless communication using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and chaos theory. Additionally, I have secured a pre-study fund to deepen my research into the exciting realm of quantum communication, further broadening my research interests into cutting-edge technologies that promise to revolutionize secure data transmission.
