Research Interests

Dr Shujun Li's research interests are mainly interplays among several different research areas: cyber security and privacy, digital forensics and cyber crime, human factors, and multimedia computing. They include cyber security (including usable security and user privacy, digital forensics and cyber crime, information hiding and digital watermarking, mobile security, security economics, network security, systems security, but NOT cryptography and purely theoretical aspects), multimedia computing (including image processing, image/video coding, and visual quality assessment), human factors (including usability, computational aspects related to human behaviours, and accessibility), applications of artificial intelligence (NOT theory) in cyber security and multimedia computing, and applications of nonlinear science (chaos/fractals) in computer science and electronic engineering.
