Cybersecurity, cryptography and dependable computing
Visiting Lecturer, Computer Science
American University of Beirut – Mediterraneo
I study secure user authentication and the reliability of computer systems. My work includes zero-knowledge identification, fault-tolerant multiprocessor models, and the use of AI in cyber defense.
Previously Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity at Neapolis University Pafos. PhD in Computer Engineering, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
Co-authored a shared SOC model addressing the cost of security operations for small and medium-sized enterprises. The framework considers multi-tenant architecture, privacy and regulatory requirements; implementation and empirical evaluation are proposed as next steps.

Read the paperCo-authored a method for modeling how multiprocessor systems share reserve processors across subsystems. The paper develops a graph-logical construction algorithm and checks model correctness through examples and experiments.
Romankevich et al. · Applied Aspects of Information Technology
Read the paperCo-authored a review of LLM applications in threat detection, analysis and response. It examines reported capabilities alongside privacy, security and ethical considerations, and identifies questions for further research.
