His area of research is Software Engineering. He developed a model on the three internal software attributes and attackability. The relationship on coupling and attackability had earlier been defined, so he advanced this to include the other two internal attributes and developed technical metrics for each of the attributes working alone and when the three (attributes) are working concurrently.

It had also earlier been established that seven human attributes that is Kindness, Dishonesty, Social Compliance, Time pressure, Herd mentality, Greed/need could be used by social engineers in attacking software systems. He modelled these attributes into a probabilistic model and derived social atackability metrics.
