Erisa Karafili is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Cybersecurity at the University of Southampton. Previously, she was a Marie Curie Fellow at the Department of Computing, Imperial College London. During her Marie Curie project, called AF-Cyber, Erisa investigated the problem of attributing cyber-attacks and focused on constructing techniques and tools to help forensics analysts during cyber-forensics investigation of cyber-attacks. Previously, she was an RA at Imperial College London and a PostDoc at the Technical University of Denmark. Erisa obtained her PhD from the University of Verona, with a special focus on non-classical logics applied to security problems in multi-agent systems. Her main research areas are Formal Methods applied to Security and Privacy problems, Data Sharing in Cloud Environments, Data Access Control, Threat Models for IoT and Hybrid Systems.
