I am looking for suitable research areas in cybersecurity that I could write my first paper on. Any info, pointers you share that you think might be helpful are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Edit: I am working under the guidance of a professor in my university; he asked me to come up with an initial list of topics I am interested in hence the post. I will be meeting him tomorrow for further discussions.
Your process when applying to do graduate research will be shop around for academics and research groups who are working on things that look interesting to you. You'll send them an email and ask them if they are taking new research students right now (usually the answer would be yes, especially if you have good grades) and what sorts of problems would they give to a new student.
If the initial email looks positive, the next step will be meet them for lunch or a coffee. It won't be called an interview, but that's basically what it will be.
You'll be able to make suggestions and give a general hint of what you'd be most interested in, but at the end of the day it will be up to your research supervisor to both suggest topics for you to research and/or to give feedback on any preferences or interests you have.
