Research

My research interests are mostly in the areas of the Internet, Cloud computing, networking, and security and privacy. However I am also interested in many areas of applied computer science, including e-Health, agriculture, sports science, business, and education.

Please get in touch (David.Paul@une.edu.au) if you'd like me to be involved in a project in these areas (if you would like me to supervise you for a research degree please read this first).
