Dr Edward Austin
Research Fellow - AI4MEResearch Overview
I am a research fellow at Lancaster University. My research focusses on three key areas:
1) Developing novel methods for the detection of anomalies, particularly in streaming data.
2) Data-driven mathematical modelling. I work on a range of use cases from satellite networks and multimedia delivery to wind turbine condition monitoring. I leverage statistical, ML, and mathematical AI tools to do this.
3) AI and Data Science for Cybersecurity. In partnership with UK Government bodies such as the NCSC I lead projects to develop tools for monitoring vulnerabilities and measuring resilience.
I have authored code that is now used by large organisations such as BT and the BBC. One of my methods is now deployed monitoring the UK's national telecommunications infrastructure.
I also take a leading role in Lancaster's network and systems research group. As part of this I work on projects on a range of software-defined, intent-based, and multimedia networking challenges.
Current Teaching
I am leading the development and delivery of a cyberanalytics module for 3rd year computer science students.
I am currently involved in supervising students at undergraduate and masters level on several projects in areas including cyber security and networks research.
My previous teaching experience includes tutoring undergraduates and postgraduates on a range of mathematical topics, from calculus and linear algebra, to probability and statistics.
PhD Supervision Interests
If you have an interest in PhD topics linked to any of my three research interests, or the interests of the network and systems group I work in, please reach out and I will do my best to explore opportunities for obtaining funding for you.
