Dr Jeyamohan Neera

Assistant Professor

Department: Computer and Information Sciences

Neera is an Assistant Professor and Programme Leader for Networks and Cybersecurity programme. She is a highligh motivated researcher with expertise in privacy preserving technologies and protection against online harms and cyber security threats. She is a member of Cybernets Research Group at Northumbria University and also serves as Expert Fellow for Security Privacy Identity Trust in the Digital Economy (SPRITE+). She is currently the institutional PI for SPRITE+ funded project Fact-Chkd. She is also an active contributor to EU-funded projects, serving as Co-I for HarmonicAI (EU funded staff exchange program investigating human-guided privacy preserving explainable AI models for digital health) and Co-I on Digihealth-Asia (European Union funded Erasmus+ Capacity Building Project). Her recent research focuses on the potential misuse of generative AI and LLMs by adversaries (i.e dis/misinformation, deepfake, social engineering attacks, APTs) to expose sensitive information and manipulate user behaviour.
