Dr Asma Adnane

I am the course leader of the M.Sc. Cyber security at the University of Derby, and I am currently teaching network and security modules.

My research involves Trust and security in ad hoc networks. I'm Currently supervising a PhD student working on the evaluation of Trust in Vehicular ad hoc Networks (VANET).

• Course and module leader
• Network security
• Security protocols
• Database development
• Entreprise security management
• Cyber security research

I am interested in building partnerships with colleagues from industry, and I am always looking for PhD and Master students who are keen to work in the area of Trust and security.
