Anirban Basu
Researcher in Computational Trust, Privacy and Security
Hitachi R&D
University of Sussex
OntarioTech University
IFIP WG 11.11 Trust Management
Summary
With more than a decade of research experience within both academia and industry, I have co-authored 70+ research papers and 30+ Japanese patents. My publications have been cited more than 2,200 times setting my overall h-index to 23 (source: Google Scholar). My current research is based on a user-empowering view of computational trust in human-machine interactions; and the role of computational trust in security and privacy. The areas of research that interest me include, but are not limited to computational trust systems, AI security, AI ethics and causal modelling, distributed consensus, privacy and risk, and privacy preserving data mining. I like working on complex problems that require multi-disciplinary approaches. Outside research and the related stuff, I am keen on photography, videography and the associated travels.

Teaching
Lecturer
Teaching fundamentals of computational trust and trust systems to researchers from a number of disciplines.
Associate Tutor
Between 2004 and 2010, as an Associate Tutor at the University of Sussex, I have had teaching duties in the following courses in the (erstwhile) Department of Informatics and in the Department of Engineering and Design. Duties as an Associate Tutor included laboratory supervision, marking, course design and occasional lecturing at the post-graduate level. Sometimes some of the undergraduate courses were taken by Masters students too.
- Introduction to Information Technology (Foundation)
- Program Design (Undergraduate)
- Databases (Undergraduate)
- Data Structures (Undergraduate)
- Technical Communication Skills (Undergraduate)
- Internet Technologies (Undergraduate)
- Introduction to Software Design (Undergraduate)
- Web-based commerce (Post-graduate -- Masters)

Name
My name Anirban is a Bengali name ("অনির্বাণ", if you have Bengali fonts to see that), which means a light that shines forever. In Bengali, it sounds a bit like: aw-nee-r-baan. However, as Bengali is not a language with strict intonations, many variations of the pronunciation by non-Bengali speakers still make sense (somewhat!). In Japanese (Katakana), it is written as バス オニバン (note that the family name is written first) and pronounced (in Romanization) ba-su o-ni-ba-n.
If you would like to see how my name is written but do not have the Bengali or Japanese fonts to read the names in the paragraph above, click on the links below to see them as images.
