RESEARCH

My PhD thesis will leverage large language models for natural language processing (NLP) and the LINDDUN methodology to enhance cyber resilience and privacy in healthcare information systems during development. It will explore techniques to integrate NLP models for identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities and privacy threats in software requirements, design documents, and code.

The LINDDUN framework will be applied to systematically model and analyse privacy threats across the system’s data lifecycle. The research will aim to develop an NLP-driven toolchain for automating security and privacy analyses, enabling early threat detection and mitigation. Key focus areas will include secure coding practices, vulnerability assessment, risk management, and integrating privacy-preserving technologies like differential privacy and homomorphic encryption.

The goal will be to provide a comprehensive, AI-assisted approach for building resilient and privacy-compliant healthcare systems from the ground up, safeguarding patient data integrity and confidentiality.
