Biography

Peyman Kabiri, PhD, received his bachelor’s degree in computer hardware engineering from the Iran University of Science and Technology in 1992. After receiving his master’s degree in real-time systems from Nottingham Trent University in 1996, he received a bursary from Nottingham Trent University to continue his doctoral studies. He received PhD in Computer Science from Nottingham Trent University in 2000. After receiving his PhD, he held various positions in companies and universities, including Assistance Professor in the School of Computer Engineering at the Iran University of Science and Technology, Project coordinator in Faculty of Computer Science at the University of New Brunswick – Canada, Senior Lecturer in Cybersecurity in the Department of Computing at the Sheffield Hallam University, and Senior Lecturer in Cybersecurity in the School of Computer Science and Informatics at De Montfort University.

Dr Kabiri has designed and taught many modules in the field of cybersecurity at undergraduate and graduate levels since 2010. His lectures are based on his research findings and were initially intended for graduate students, including: Intrusion Detection and Response Methods and Systems for Computer Networks, Secure Computer Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems Security. Later, he designed and taught undergraduate lectures and laboratory tutorials for undergraduate courses at UK universities, namely Network Intrusion Detection and Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity (except for the last few sessions). He has a diverse range of research and teaching experiences that enable him to contribute to multidisciplinary research and teaching areas. He has published 46 conference papers, 32 journal articles, and edited one book. He has supervised the final projects of many undergraduate students, 52 master’s students and 5 doctoral students to completion. Dr Kabiri strongly believes in research-based teaching and in his lectures, he provides his students with theoretical and practical knowledge to with examples of real-world scenarios. Having diverse research and teaching experience at the international level helps him to have a broader perspective on different research and teaching approaches and the educational needs of researchers and students.
