Hi, I'm Mazaher Kianpour.

Ph.D. Research Fellow at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology

ABOUT ME

I’m a Ph.D. research fellow at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) who is passionate about diving into cybersecurity and understanding how inadequate cybersecurity could make us all vulnerable. Most of my work is focused on cybersecurity economics appreciating the complexity of the socio-technical systems that are emerging daily in our societies.

I am currently a member of the Norwegian Cyber Range (NCR) and System Security Group (S2G) at the department of information security and communication technology, NTNU. These two groups are the leading research groups in Norway focusing on cybersecurity with a socio-technical perspective and explicable by reference to the whole system.
