About

Dr Giedre Sabaliauskaite is an Associate Professor in Cyber Security. She is part of Systems Security Group in the Department of Computer Science, Swansea University. Prior to her position at Swansea, she was an Associate Professor in Assured Autonomous Systems at the Centre for Future Transport and Cities at Coventry University.

She received PhD degree in Software Engineering from the Osaka University, Japan, in 2004, following her BSc and MSc degrees in Information Systems from the Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania.

Before relocating to the UK in 2020, she worked for over seven years at the iTrust Centre for Research in Cybersecurity at the Singapore University of Technology and Design in Singapore. Her research focussed on safety and cyber security of cyber-physical systems.

Before Singapore, from 2008 to 2010 she was a post-doctoral researcher at the Lund University, Sweden. The focus of her research was on software process improvement, in particular, the alignment of software requirements and testing processes. Furthermore, she worked as a software quality engineer at a software development company in Portugal in 2007 – 2008, and as a scientist at the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering in Germany in 2004 – 2005.

Taught Modules

CS-235 Software Engineering 2

Building on the programming knowledge and experience acquired by the students in the co - and pre-requisites, this module enables students to apply advanced software development methodologies, with a focus on object-oriented software design and engineering. The module provides students with valuable opportunities to acquire knowledge and experience in important aspects of software engineering with a strong emphasis on teamwork and practical assignments. A significant element of the module is the construction of a substantial software product, where students are assessed on their effectiveness at working together as a team.
CS-239 Software Security Engineering

The aim of this module is to provide students with the background in the specification, design, implementation, and evaluation of secure software systems.
