About the Faculty
Dr. Rajib Ranjan Maiti is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Hyderabad, India. Rajib has completed his Ph.D. in April, 2014, in CSE under the joint supervision of Professor Niloy Ganguly and Professor Arobinda Gupta in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, West Bengal, India. His PhD thesis has been in the area of developing efficient routing and broadcasting protocols that make use of omni-directional and directional antenna models, properties of temporal networks, and user mobility patterns. He has been a Marie Curie Fellow in CNR, Pisa, Italy, for a year from April, 2014 to April, 2015 and work under the supervision of Dr. Paolo Santi. During his stay in Italy he has worked in the area of developing efficient privacy-aware routing protocols in Opportunistic Networks. He has worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at iTrust, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore from July, 2016 to December, 2018 and has worked under the supervision of Prof. Yuval Elovici.
His current research interest has been in the area of Cyber Security, Internet of Thing, Cyber Physical Systems, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee. His research interests span across active and passive analysis of network traffic at application layer, network layer, and data link layer. Analyzing recent attacks like KRACK on WPA2, BotNet using IoTlike Mirai, Byzantine attack or Sybil attack or malware attack on complex networks and applying them onto CPS has been one of the major areas of his research in recent times.
Highlight: I shall teach a new elective course CS F436 Cyber Physical Systems and Security (3 1 0 4) in the upcoming semester (Jan - May, 2025). I shall consider a higher weightage for assignment or project in this course for a better outcome this course. Some variations of this course have been recently introduced in several reputed universities within India and abroad, e.g., IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur, University of Notinghum, University of Southumpton, CMU, UCI, DIT, and so on. This course can be very beneficial to those who wish to venture into CPS or IIoT arena. I invite our BITS Hyderabad students to register for this new elective course in the upcoming next semester and take advantage of such a new course.
An Institute of Eminence
