Kahraman Kostas
I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. My research, supervised by Dr. Mike Just and Dr. Michael Lones, culminated in my thesis titled "Behaviour-based security with machine learning on IoT networks", focusing on IoT security, device identification, and attack detection. My broader interests include computer networks, indoor positioning, and the practical applications of machine learning. I previously worked as a Researcher at Huawei's Edinburgh R&D Centre, where I developed machine learning solutions for indoor positioning using geospatial data.
I hold an MSc in Computer Networks and Security (Distinction) from the University of Essex. My master's thesis, "Anomaly detection in networks using machine learning", was supervised by Dr. Martin Reed. My undergraduate background is in Computer Education and Instructional Technology from Marmara University, a well-established institution in Istanbul.
In addition to my professional work, I have a keen interest in Turkish literature, etymology, classical poetry, hiking, and photography.
