He is a member of IEEE Computer Society, International Association of Computer Science and Information Technology (IACSIT), Computer Professionals Registration Council of Nigeria (CPN), International Association of Engineers (IAENG), The Internet Society (ISOC), Cyber Security Experts Association of Nigeria (CSEAN) and Nigerian Computer Society (NCS).
RESEARCH STATEMENT
Cloud computing system is a huge cluster of interconnected servers residing in a data center and dynamically provisioned to clients on-demand via a front-end interface on pay-per-use economic plan. Recently, a number of metaheuristics optimization techniques have been mostly applied to address the challenges of task scheduling in the cloud system being a Non-deterministic Polynomial time (NP-hard) problem without much emphasis on the issue of fault tolerance awareness. In my PhD thesis titled “Fault Tolerance Aware Task Scheduling Techniques for Cloud Computing Environment”, I developed tasks scheduling techniques using an enhanced computational intelligence algorithm called League Championship Algorithm (LCA) in cloud computing system with emphasis on fault tolerance awareness by extending the algorithm to be dynamic, clustered and checkpointed. I have published large body of scientific research work related to resource management in cloud computing in high impact journals and indexed conferences. Before that, I have contributed in the area of cyber security, which includes; spam detection using novel classification algorithms, cyber forensic analysis, internet content filters and resource allocation in cloud and grid systems.
Presently, I have large number of research manuscripts that are waiting to be published or under review in high impact journals in the areas of Bigdata, IoT security, Soft Computing, Ransomware attack, Cryptography, Steganography and Cloud computing. In addition, we are currently carred out a research on “Protecting the Public Core of the Internet Services” which was sponsored by Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace (GCSC), Hague, Netherlands.
Cyber forensic is an area of research which we are working to propose new cyber forensic investigation frameworks for effective tracking of cybercrime pathways and documentation for court prosecution. My future research plans is to intensify my research on are; the applications of new soft computing algorithms in new emerging cloud services; Fog, Edge, Cloudlet, Ad hoc cloud, Volunteer cloud, Multi-cloud and Software-defined cloud computing. I also have some prospective future research plans in the areas of improving the performance of computational intelligence optimization schemes in addressing new multifaceted emerging issues in IoT and Big data analytics. To summarize, at this point in my career, my primary interests are in Cloud Computing, Soft Computing, Cyber forensic and Cyber Security. I have pursued these interests to date by conducting different reviews and experiments before, during and after PhD studies. In the long term I see myself working & expanding my expertise in these areas by a mixture of experimental and empirical works.
