She is currently the Associate head of the Department of Computer Science. Dionysiou received her Ph D from Washington State University (2006) and during her graduate studies she held teaching and research assistant appointments. Her Ph D dissertation work investigated trust requirements and challenges for large-scale infrastructures, with an exemplary infrastructure being the US Electric Power Grid. Dionysiou’s research focuses on active defenses, privacy, applied security standards, multidisciplinary security practices, and cybercrime. She is the co-director of the Informatics Security Laboratory (ISL) at University of Nicosia, which aims on devising new techniques to detect cyberattacks by analyzing attack patterns and visualizing attack attempts in an intuitive manner. She is member of various boards, including the Cyprus ECSC (European Cyber Security Challenge) Advisory Board. She has participated in locally funded and European-funded research projects. Nour El Madhoun received her Master’s degree in Networks/Computer Science from Sorbonne Université/Télécom Paris Tech in 2014, and her Ph.D. degree in Cybersecurity/Computer Science from Sorbonne Université in 2018. In 2019, she joined ISEP – Engineering School, Paris, as an Associate Professor of Cybersecurity in addition to overseeing the engineering cycle – Digital Security and Networks. In 2018, Nour gained industry experience through working in a post-doctoralresearcher at Orange Labs. At Sorbonne Université, she became an ATER in 2017. From 2020 to 2022, Nour joined,  EPITA  Engineering school in Paris,  as an Associate Professor of Cybersecurity and Blockchain. Her current research focuses on network security, cryptographic protocols, EMV payment, NFC technology, and blockchain and smart-contracts technologies. Nour is currently an Associate Professor of Computer Science, Cybersecurity and Blockchain at ISEP – Engineering School in Paris.
