About

Pooja A. Shelar is a researcher in the field of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs), with a focus on security and network vulnerabilities. Her work addresses the critical challenges of protecting underwater communication systems from threats and attacks, a domain essential for applications like ocean monitoring, defense, and environmental sensing. Her most-cited paper, "Threats and Attacks in UWSN" (2021), has garnered 4 citations, establishing a foundation for understanding security risks in these unique, resource-constrained environments. Through this contribution, Shelar highlights the fragility of UWSNs against malicious intrusions, data tampering, and denial-of-service attacks, offering insights that guide the development of robust countermeasures. Her research is particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical security models and practical deployment concerns in aquatic networks. As a rising voice in this niche area, Shelar’s work underscores the growing importance of securing the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT), inspiring further exploration into resilient network architectures and cryptographic protocols tailored for underwater conditions.
