The
central themes of my research are motivated by the challenges and
opportunities generated by the dramatic developments of information and
communication technologies (ICTs). My research has sought to encompass
technical, managerial, and social components that can enrich and strengthen
targeted research within the sub-domains of ICTs. Currently, I have two
active projects going right now. Security Economics Security
vulnerability is one of the major challenges caused by the developments of
ICTs, and has been a vigorously researched field. I am applying an
interdisciplinary approach which encompasses management, behavioral
sciences and economics, to problems of cyber security. The followings are my
research interests in security. o
Interdependent Security Risks o
Misaligned Incentives o
Information Vulnerabilities o
Infrastructure Vulnerabilities Regulation and Innovation in Telecommunications ICTs have strong positive effects on productivity
growth and innovation. Creating conditions that foster innovation has
therefore become a central matter of policy-makers and regulators. In the
highly interconnected ICT ecosystem, two aspects of innovation are of
particular interest. ICT sector itself has a considerable innovation record
and future innovation potential. Sector regulation affects the speed with
which this innovation potential is brought to the market and direction of
innovation efforts. Second, ICT is a platform technology that is used by a
broad range of other industries. The ability to innovate of firms in these
industries is critically dependent on the availability of advanced ICT
infrastructure. Whether and how regulation of telecommunications influences
innovations in these related sectors or the economy overall is therefore a
question that should be taken into account. |
