It is a tremendous honour to be awarded this chair professorship by AXA and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the AXA Research Fund. With the research funding, I will be able to execute an important step change at SMU by bringing together the university’s strengths in cybersecurity and analytics across the technology, management and social science areas. I will also be able to deepen and strengthen my collaborations with scholars from all over the world.
