General Information
Biography
I am currently an Assistant Professor in Cybersecurity in the School of Interdisciplinary Informatics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.I received my Ph.D. in Computing Science from the University of Glasgow, Scotland in 2016. My thesis investigated efforts to improve the quality of data generated during security incident response, with the aim of allowing organizations to use this data to develop deeper insights into security incident causes and to assist with security incident learning. I have also earned a M.Sc. in Computer Forensics and E-Discovery from the University of Glasgow, and a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Computer Networks from Middlesex University, England.Prior to joining the University of Nebraska at Omaha, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Lero - The Irish Software Research Centre, based at the University of Limerick in the Republic of Ireland. At Lero, my research focused on engineering forensic-ready software systems together with the Security, Privacy, Adaptation and Requirements Engineering (SPARE) group lead by Prof. Bashar Nuseibeh.My research has been cited in various policy documents. For example, my cloud forensic research is cited in the NIST Cloud Computing Forensic Science Challenges report (Draft NISTIR 8006, 2015) and the final NISTIR 8006: NIST Cloud Computing Forensic Science Challenges report. Likewise, my cybersecurity incident response research has been cited in a report for the European Commission on maritime supply chains for port operations.I am currently the research director for the Digital Forensics and Information Intelligence (DFi2) lab, which acts an incubator for fostering collaborative research within the domains of digital foreniscs and cybersecurity.

Research Interests
I have a broad and interdisciplinary research focus on digital forensics and cybersecurity, where I aim to understand how data can be acquired from contemporary digital devices for both malicious/cyber offensive (e.g., criminal/malicious exploitation) and legitimate defensive (e.g., digital forensics/security incident response) purposes. I am also interested in investigating how this data can be used to design and develop a variety of cyber defensive solutions, from both a technical and non-technical perspective.
Service Summary
Dr. Grispos currently serves on the Editorial Board for Digital Investigation, an international journal that focuses on digital forensics and incident response research. In addition, Dr. Grispos has also chaired tracks related to security and privacy in healthcare at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, as well has been a member of program committees for conferences and workshops such as TrustCom, WSDF, and SERF.
