Dr. George Grispos is an Associate Professor of Digital Forensics in the School of Interdisciplinary Forensics. Prior to joining the school, he held appointments as an Assistant and Associate Professor of Cybersecurity at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. His research explores the intersection of digital forensics and cybersecurity, with a particular focus on residual data, smartphone forensics, and the forensic analysis of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Dr. Grispos earned his Ph.D. in Computing Science and M.Sc. in Computer Forensics and E-Discovery from the University of Glasgow. His doctoral research investigated approaches to improving data quality in security incident response investigations. He has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed publications advancing research in digital forensics and cybersecurity. His research has also received support from several federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
