Known For

[edit]

Baggili, along with his students, are known for their contributions to the digital forensics and cybersecurity.

  • His research with his students have uncovered vulnerabilities that affect over 1.5 billion people worldwide.[13][14]
  • His team was the first to explore memory forensics,[15] and disk and network forensics of consumer Virtual Reality (VR) systems.[16]
  • His team was the first to show proof of concept attacks in consumer Virtual Reality (VR) systems,[17] which inspired the creation of X-Reality Safety Initiative (XRSI).
  • The freely available NSF funded Artifact Genome Project[18][19] which curates digital forensic artifacts and digital forensic academic exercises.
  • First Jordanian and Arab to pursue a PhD focus in Cyber Forensics.[20]

Career

[edit]

Baggili was editor-in-chief for the Journal of Digital Forensics, Security, and Law.[21][failed verification] He has worked as a Digital Forensics Consultant for Cryptic Software Ltd. in the UK and as a Security Policies, Procedures and Standards Consultant for BISYS Education Services. In 2005, he founded Security Triangle in Amman Governorate, Jordan, and in 2010, he co-founded Viral Labs/Technologies, a start-up in the United Arab Emirates.

From 2009 to 2013 Baggili was an assistant professor at Zayed University, working on digital forensic research projects, where he chaired the second annual ICDF2C Conference.[22] He also founded and directed the Advanced Cyber Forensics Research Laboratory, which helped train individuals in the public and private sector in several areas of cyber forensics, including network and small-scale device forensics.

In 2013, Baggili joined the University of New Haven as an associate professor and assistant dean. In 2021, he was made full professor elect. At the university, he has founded the Cyber Forensics Research and Education Group (UNHcFREG)[23] and created the Artifact Genome Project (AGP).[24] With mostly student researchers, the group has published papers on various cyber security and forensics topics, many of which have been presented at conferences such as the Digital Forensics Research Workshop[25] and ICDF2C, and published in journals such as Digital Investigation.[26] AGP was created with the help of Purdue University's VACCINE [27] to address the need for a centralized location to share digital forensic artifacts. Since its inception, participants, ranging from federal agencies to universities to private companies, have uploaded over 1,200 artifacts. As a database, AGP has been utilized by investigators, and forteaching digital forensics.

At UNewHaven, Baggili also hosted GenCyber,[28] a National Science Foundation and National Security Agency funded program, for several summers. The program aims to introduce a diverse student population to cybersecurity concepts by engaging them in hands-on activities and experiences.

In August, 2022, Baggili joined Louisiana State University as a full professor with a joint appointment between the college of engineering and the Center for Computation and Technology.
