At a glance
The scholarship is jointly funded by Australia Research Council (ARC),
ECU School of Science, and ECU Security Research Institute (SRI).
The open and broadcast nature of the wireless medium presents significant
technical challenges for achieving security and privacy in wireless
networks. This project aims to develop fundamental communication theories
and practical solutions to guarantee wireless communication security and
privacy in future networks (e.g., 6G networks).
The research topics include but not limited to intelligent reflecting
surface (IRS)-enabled secure/covert communications, IRS-aided key
generation, security and covertness in integrated sensing and
communications, drone detection and countermeasure based on RF signals,
and fundamental theories for covert communications/sensing.
