Hello and Welcome!!!

My name is Abhinav Kumar. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Cincinnati, US, in the Department of Computer Science, under the guidance of Dr. Brahma. I completed my undergraduate studies with a B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from one of the oldest institutions in India, the National Institute of Technology (N.I.T.), Patna. My current research includes securing the networked server using deception, understanding the cognitive psychology of network administrators and adversaries and design of resilient edge-native 3D video processing frameworks in disruption-prone environments.
