We have three themes that drive the direction of our research:
Smart data-driven world – aims to enable and understand the world driven by the pervasive generation and use of big data.
Creating future digital technologies – aims to create and develop future digital technologies that will deliver benefits across the economy and society.
Cybersecurity – aims to advance technologies and practices to protect enterprises, government and society against unauthorised access to data centres and other computerised systems.
Deakin Cyber focuses on the technology, business, human, legal and policy aspects of cybersecurity. We develop cybersecurity technologies, provide thought leadership to inform legal and strategic policy directions, and work closely with industry, business and government to proactively respond to emerging cyber security threats
In addition to Deakin Cyber, we have three research centres covering multiple disciplines, led by teams working to tackle some of today’s greatest IT challenges.
Centre for Software, Systems and Society (CSSS) – CSSS conducts fundamental and applied research for the specification, creation, evaluation and efficient operation of innovative, software-supported systems.
Data to Intelligence Research Centre (D2I) – D2I conducts research involving processes starting with data and ending with intelligence. We solve problems for data, data modelling, complex networks and decision making, based on advanced data science, mathematics and machine learning.
Centre for Internet of Things ECOsystems Research and Experimentation (CITECORE) – CITECORE carries out collaborative Internet of Things focused research in partnership with government, industry and the community to create demonstrable innovations and intellectual property.
