Joining the Cybersecurity Research Group

Scholarship applicants: Please note, I do not accept Master's students seeking scholarships. Only PhD applicants are considered. If you are an international student seeking a PhD Scholarship, your GPA must be 3.7+/4, and have at least one first-authored paper published. Ideally, you have several publications (first-authored or co-authored). You are in a better position if you have recognisable relevant prizes (national or international, e.g., best paper award) or a patent, have research experience outside your degree, and your university is the top national institute.

I need the following information from you before I can be your supervisor

1. Your CV/resume

2. English test scores (you should meet the English requirements of UWA, see >>here<< for details)

3. Academic transcript and GPA summary

4. Publications (conferences, journals, etc) if any

5. Funding plans*

Compile the above documents into a single PDF file and send to my email.

PhD: To be a PhD student at UWA, you must meet all the enrolment requirements: >>>Link<<<

Generally speaking, you will have a Masters degree or equivalent, with at least 25% being a research component.

You are welcome to provide a brief research proposal (including references). I also have potential research topics, which I am happy to discuss further (can be found here).

* UWA and other funding bodies will provide scholarships for the right students only. Typically, you would need excellent written and verbal English, some publications, and high GPA (i.e., 3.7+/4 or higher).
