Shafkat Islam works on security and privacy for connected and intelligent systems, including federated learning (a way to train AI models across many devices without sharing raw data), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV/drone) networks, vehicular edge computing, smart grids, and IoT devices. Much of the work focuses on identifying attacks (such as data poisoning or backdoor attacks) against machine learning systems and designing defenses, privacy-preserving methods, and resource allocation schemes for these networked, resource-constrained environments.
