Associate Professor
Temple University


Aunshul Rege, PhD, is an Associate Professor with the department of Criminal Justice at Temple University. She holds a PhD and MA in Criminal Justice, an MA and BA in Criminology, and a BS in Computer Science. She has been researching proactive cybersecurity in the context of cybercrimes against critical infrastructures for over 10 years. Specifically, she researches adversarial and defender behavior, decision-making, adaptations, modus operandi, and group dynamics. Dr. Rege's work employs qualitative approaches of observing real-time cybersecurity exercises to understand the behavior of adversaries and defenders. She intersects theoretical frameworks and methodologies from criminology with hard science approaches (time series analysis, graph theory, simulations, and machine learning) to foster innovative and multidisciplinary proactive cybersecurity research. Her work has been published in the Journal of Information Warfare, Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, the Security Journal, and the IEEE Intelligent Systems. She is a recipient of NSF CAREER, CPS, and EAGER awards.
