Rate My Professor Basant Subba

Dr. Basant Subba is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, India, where he has been serving since 2022. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati in 2018. His research interests encompass machine learning and deep learning, intrusion detection systems, natural language processing, software reverse engineering, cybersecurity, and malware analysis. Additionally, his work covers computer networks, wireless ad-hoc networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, delay-tolerant networks, and vehicular networks.

Dr. Subba maintains a robust publication portfolio comprising 12 journal articles and 15 conference proceedings. Key contributions include 'A game theory based multi layered intrusion detection framework for VANET' (Future Generation Computer Systems, 2018), 'Intrusion detection in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks: Bayesian game formulation' (Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2016), 'Stacking ensemble-based HIDS framework for detecting anomalous system processes in Windows based operating systems using multiple word embedding' (Computers & Security, 2023), 'False Alarm Reduction in Signature based IDS: Game Theory Approach' (Security and Communication Networks, 2016), and 'A heterogeneous stacking ensemble based sentiment analysis framework using multiple word embeddings' (Computational Intelligence, 2022). His highly cited paper, 'A neural network based system for intrusion detection and attack classification' (2016), has received 175 citations, alongside other influential works exceeding 100 citations each on game-theoretic intrusion detection models. Recent publications address phishing detection, such as 'PhishDetect: A BiLSTM based phishing URL detection framework using FastText embeddings' (COMSNETS, 2024). He has delivered expert lectures, including one on Intrusion Detection Systems at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Bhagalpur in 2021. Within IIT Ropar, he holds the role of Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (Dy. CISO), implementing guidelines from the National Cyber Crisis Management Plan, and serves as a member of the Information Technology Committee, overseeing IT policies and services.
