With 15 years of experience in academia, research, and consultancy, Dr. Anchit Bijalwan has been at the forefront of cyber forensics and artificial intelligence security. His work spans multiple international projects with organizations such as the UN, DST, and AMIT, contributing to the advancement of digital security and forensic methodologies.
One of his most significant contributions is the introduction of the term “Botnet Forensics”, which has opened new research directions in detecting and mitigating botnet attacks. Through his extensive research, Dr. Bijalwan has explored how forensic techniques can strengthen cybersecurity, particularly in response to evolving threats in the digital landscape.
In his work, Dr. Bijalwan has developed several pioneering methodologies and frameworks. Key highlights include:
- Propounded the term “Botnet Forensics” to the global academic community.
- Created a robust inquisition model for analyzing botnet attacks, focusing on detection, analysis, and mitigation strategies.
- Pioneered the integration of machine learning algorithms in cyber forensics, enhancing the detection of cyber threats and malicious activities.
- Introduced the use of ensemble of ensemble classifiers in botnet detection, significantly improving accuracy and reliability in forensic analysis.
- Developed frameworks that facilitate practical application of forensic analysis in real-world scenarios, improving response times to cyber incidents.
His book, Network Forensics: Privacy and Security, provides in-depth insights into the complexities of network forensics and the delicate balance between security and privacy. This work has become a key resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to enhance cybersecurity measures using forensic principles.
His expertise and contributions have earned him prestigious accolades, including the 2023 Vice-Chancellor Best Researcher Award at British University Vietnam, the International Research Award from the International Research Association in London (2021), and most recently, the Dean’s Research Excellence Award (2024).
As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, Dr. Bijalwan remains committed to pioneering new approaches in AI-driven cybersecurity and forensic investigations. His research not only reinforces BUV’s position as a hub for cutting-edge cybersecurity research but also plays a vital role in developing advanced solutions that safeguard digital ecosystems against emerging threats.
