About Me
Dr. Diksha Goel is a Research Scientist at CSIRO’s Data61 in Melbourne, working at the intersection of Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Game Theory, and Graph Data Mining. Her research focuses on developing scalable, AI-driven security solutions to defend against evolving cyber threats and protect critical infrastructure. She designs autonomous defense systems that integrate machine learning, game-theoretic modeling, and graph analytics to proactively detect vulnerabilities and respond to attacks. Her work bridges academic research with practical application and has influenced both policy and real-world cybersecurity practices.
She earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Adelaide, where she developed advanced frameworks for cyber resilience, threat mitigation, and intelligent decision-making in security. Her research has been published in leading cybersecurity journals and conferences. Previously, as a Postdoctoral Fellow at CSIRO’s Data61, she contributed to Australia’s national cyber defense efforts through the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC), translating foundational research into solutions for government and industry.
Driven by a commitment to security innovation, Dr. Goel continues to push the boundaries of AI-powered defense, designing systems that are not only technically advanced but also resilient, responsible, and ready for real-world deployment.
